SC-22 routes narrowed to a few choices. It could displace scores of Horry residents

John and Katie Clairmont moved to their dream, log cabin-style home on 2 acres in Murrells Inlet six years ago. But that dream may vanish when the South Carolina Highway 22 Extension Project undergoes construction. The project, which has been in the works for nearly two decades , is in the public scoping stage where the initial 22 potential routes have been narrowed down to three. Two of which appear to run directly through the Clairmont’s home should they move forward. “I recognize the fact that Horry County is growing and needs infrastructure improvements. But that being said, they have to take into consideration the families that live in this area,” John Clairmont said. Formerly titled the Southern Evacuation Lifeline project (SELL), the highway intends to improve hurricane evacuation and traffic congestion while aiding services across the Waccamaw River. It’s currently slated to cost $1.56 billion for environmental mitigation and construction funded through Horry County’s RIDE 4 program . But the Clairmonts and other residents in the area are not convinced the project would serve the stated purpose and would increase traffic and development. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is administering a series of studies before authorizing a permit

Is it legal to throw your pet's poop in neighbor's trash can? What SC law says

It’s trash day in your neighborhood, and you have your can sitting along the curb waiting for pickup. Then along comes a neighbor walking their dog and throws their pet’s bag of feces into your trash can. Putting aside the fact that the act is not very neighborly, is it against the law? South Carolina law says that a person cannot “dump, throw, drop, deposit, discard, or otherwise dispose of litter or other solid waste upon ... private property in the State for which he is not the legal owner or a person otherwise granted permission by the legal owner.” Horry County has separate solid-waste rules , and using someone else’s bin without permission could still prompt a complaint. The law also states that “garbage” that is placed in trash cans for pickup “shall not include human or animal feces.” There are other city ordinances with rules about picking up and disposing of your pet’s waste. Myrtle Beach and pet poop Myrtle Beach’s ordinance says that it is unlawful to "fail to promptly remove and properly dispose of all feces left by the animal on any public property or any private property not owned by the owner.” It goes as

BJ's Wholesale Club eyes a new location in Horry County. Here's what we know

A popular northeastern wholesale supermarket chain is looking to expand into North Myrtle Beach after opening its first Grand Strand location last year. BJ’s Wholesale Club submitted development plans to the City of North Myrtle Beach for a new location between Champions Boulevard and South Carolina Highway 90. The proposal comes after the company opened its first Horry County store in Myrtle Beach in February 2025. The warehouse chain uses a club system where only members shop in its stores, similar to Costco or Sam’s Club. BJ’s is based in Massachusetts and, according to its website, BJ’s has 8.5 million members across its 270 stores in 22 states. The Sun News was unable to reach the company for comment, but preliminary plans submitted to North Myrtle Beach reveal some details about the proposed location.

Wawa could be coming to Horry County-but some residents aren't happy about it

Wawa could be coming to Horry County. The Planning Commission unanimously approved Thursday plans to allow a new gas station convenience store to open in Little River – but residents aren’t happy. The request, brought by WW LLC as an agent for Baytree SC LLC, sought to amend a 3.14-acre parcel at Water Grande Boulevard and Highway 9 East for a convenience store with gas pumps and a car wash. Although the lot is currently zoned for commercial use, developers needed permission to install gas pumps at the site. The Pennsylvania-based convenience store chain has something of a cult following, particularly for its sandwiches and other fast foods. A new Horry County store would mark the first location in South Carolina. But not everyone’s pleased with Wawa’s plans. Hundreds of residents showed up at the Planning Commission meeting in opposition to the proposed convenience store. Several residents shared public comments expressing concerns that increased traffic would strain infrastructure, endanger public safety and displace wildlife. None of the comments shared as public input were supportive of the plans for a new Wawa. “That intersection is one of the highest collision intersections … I’m already taking my life in my hands trying
