Horry County Council Spring Planning Retreat
The council reviewed the upcoming budget, which for the first time exceeds $1 billion. Key discussion topics included the landfill expansion project at the Solid Waste Authority, with concerns about funding and the need for a separate vote and public workshop, and the J. Reuben Long Detention Center needs assessment, which included three expansion options focusing on inmate capacity for medical, mental health, and female populations. The council also discussed potential strategies to address rapid county population growth and the need for future service infrastructure.
