Horry County Looking for Space for Rural Civic Center

Yesterday morning, Horry County council members and Horry Electric leaders met to look over design and funding plans for a new rural Civic Arena. During the meeting, a long list was presented showcasing possible uses for the arena which included horse shows, farm shows, sporting events and an emergency center in the event of a natural disaster. One of the main issues with the new building is finding somewhere to build it. 

Potential site locations include the intersection of highway 319 and highway 22, an intersection of highway 701 north and highway 22 and an area at the south highway 9 and business 9 split.
