The 3rd and final reading to rezone the Conway Medical Center (CMC) property across from Lewis Ocean Bay Heritage Preserve is on the agenda for Tuesday’s Horry County Council meeting.
We need your help! Please attend the meeting to show the council that smoke and hospitals do not mix and the best outcome for this parcel is for CMC to sell it to SC Department of Natural Resource so that it can be conserved.

Charleston County is seeking to tax residents to pay for the outdated, overpriced Mark Clark/I-526 Extension by asking voters to extend a transportation sales tax for 25 years. Nearly half of all the money that would be collected until roughly 2050 would go to pay for one 9-mile-long road that would damage the environment, displace homes and businesses, and only be used by a fraction of Charleston County residents. That’s…
