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

Joey Williams Named 2026 Veteran of the Year

Joey Leon Williams has been named Dillon County Veteran of the Year by the Dillon County Veterans of the Year Organization. In announcing the selection, DCSCVOYO Commander Thom Thompson said that Joey Williams has a heart for helping veterans and their families. He said, “His work helping veterans is making a valued impact on our veteran community.” Joey Williams retired from the United States Air Force in July 2012 after 30 years of service, attaining the rank of Chief Master Sergeant. He currently serves as commander of Dillon County VFW Post 6091. Under his leadership, the VFW maintains an active and visible presence in the community. The team has hosted veterans’ breakfasts and luncheons, connecting more than 200 veterans, widows, and family members with resources and assisting them in applying for the benefits and entitlements they have earned. VFW members have made a significant impact by helping veterans and their families avoid foreclosure and eviction, providing them with greater stability. They have also supplied groceries to veterans and widows to address food insecurity and paid overdue utility bills to help recipients keep their homes safe and their utilities operational while reducing financial stress. Post 6091 leads the Pee Dee region in the number of South Carolina Department of Veterans Affairs Pathfinders. Through this program, members connect veterans seeking certifications, entrepreneurial opportunities, further education, or career changes with organizations across South Carolina at no cost to the veteran. Lastly, Dillon County VFW Post 6091 established an Auxiliary. The VFW Auxiliary is dedicated to serving veterans and their families and honoring the sacrifices of those who have bravely worn the uniform. The Auxiliary comprises relatives of veterans who served in foreign conflicts. This initiative will enable Post 6091 to expand its community outreach and provide assistance where needed.
