Horry County Council Votes to Add Impact Fees to New Developments

During their meeting last night, the Horry County Council voted to pass impact fees on new developments. The impact fees will apply to any new development in the county to offset the strain new developments put on county infrastructure and will go into effect in 90 days. The impact ordinance will not include storm-water, transportation, EMS and recreation centers. The money will only be distributed to parks and recreations, public safety such as police and fire, as well as waste management. Impact fees are a one-time expense project and are not recurring.
