SC-22 extension could reshape parts of Horry County. What to know about project

The proposed 28-mile South Carolina Highway 22 Extension Project has been narrowed to three potential routes, each with implications for homeowners, wetlands and traffic in the Grand Strand region. The extension is intended to reduce traffic, aid services to communities across the Waccamaw River and improve hurricane evacuation. Public meetings are scheduled Nov. 17-19 for residents to weigh in on the $1.56 billion project. Here are key project takeaways: Homes at risk: The Army Corps of Engineers has narrowed 22 initial routes to three alternatives, each initially estimated to displace between 64 and 72 residential or commercial properties in established neighborhoods like The Farm at Timberlake, Indigo Creek, The Lakes, and Meadows of St. Patrick, with construction estimated for 2030-2035. Residents and environmental groups also worry the new highway will worsen congestion on U.S. 501, 701, 707 and 17 and open western Horry County to more development. Property owner rights: Under South Carolina’s Eminent Domain Procedure Act, government agencies can acquire private land for public projects in exchange for just compensation, but property owners have 30 days to challenge a condemnation notice and can hire their own appraiser at the agency’s expense. Owners whose land isn’t physically taken but loses

Horry County man placed on ‘most wanted list' for overgrown grass, lawsuit says

A Conway area man claims he was wrongfully arrested by Horry County Police officers because his grass was too tall, according to a new lawsuit. The lawsuit, filed in Horry County on Nov. 5, names Horry County, HCPD Police Chief Kris Leonhardt, Deputy Chief Justin Wyatt and several other officers, who Kevin Hobbs accuses of making false accusations against him in order to obtain an arrest warrant. The allegations stem from a series of alleged interactions between HCPD officers and Hobbs from August to October 2024. Hobbs claims that he was arrested for “declining to discuss an alleged overgrown grass-complaint” near his front door, according to the lawsuit. The complaint also states that Hobbs was placed on Horry County’s most wanted list, put in jail and then prosecuted for 13 months. The Sun News has requested the documents relating to Hobbs’ arrest. A spokesperson for Horry County and HCPD each wrote that the county and police department does not comment on any ongoing litigation in text messages to The Sun News. Hobbs is seeking punitive and actual damages to be determined by a jury. Dispute over grass On Aug. 30, 2024, Hobbs had been at his home on Lesia Lane

Last SC location of this business offering 75% off sales. How long before they close

Horry County residents have been wondering for years when a home decor store would finally close. The store, located in Surfside Beach, is the last Old Time Pottery location in South Carolina. Old Time Pottery, which became known for its deals on furniture, rugs and other home decor items, was bought in 2023 by Gabe’s, an off-price retail and clothing outlet. The takeover drew online speculation in the past few years from residents in The Grand Strand who wondered if the Surfside Beach location would be changed after other stores across the country had closed. But this time, the rumors are true: South Carolina’s last Old Time Pottery location will be closing in December so that the store can be turned into a Gabe’s store, a store supervisor told The Sun News on Thursday. The store will remain closed for five to six weeks afterward in order to remodel it. What will this mean for customers? Gabe’s first acquired Old Time Pottery in April 2023. A year later, speculation about the location at 1870 Highway 17 Business in Surfside Beach grew as customers wondered if a new business would take its place. A Gabe’s company spokesperson announced in a March
