A major development may be coming to Conway. Opposition is already mounting.
CONWAY — A massive mixed-use development being proposed off a busy Conway road would add thousands more daily trips and impact wetlands — drawing public outcry before even single vote has been taken. "This is already a flood-prone area. Removing wetlands that naturally absorb stormwater and replacing them with buildings, parking lots, and other impervious surfaces will only increase concerns about runoff, drainage, and flooding for surrounding properties," Kim Lineweber, who identifies herself as a "concerned Horry County resident and flood victim" said in an email to city planners. The propos...

Florence neighborhood may be demolished to make way for affordable townhomes
FLORENCE — A recently approved Florence rezoning may lead to the demolition of a small neighborhood of 1950s-era homes. The city of Florence’s Planning Commission approved the rezoning of 18 parcels, all containing single-family homes, on North Aiken Drive off West Evans Street at its most recent planning meeting. The homes are all rentals and were under a zoning that made multi-family housing not an option, according to senior planner with the city, Alane Zlotnicki. Zlotnicki defined the neighborhood as a “donut-hole” of single-family homes that are surrounded by commercial developments. The ...

CONWAY — Environmental groups are raising concerns about a developer's plans to fill wetlands for a Conway shopping complex that would include a big-box anchor and a grocery store.

"In the scheme of things, 5 acres of wetland fill given all of the development in Horry County is not that significant," said Becky Ryon of the Coastal Conservation League, one of the groups opposed to the project.
