Summary

Following an executive session, council reappointed members to boards and commissions and selected a developer (referenced as RDE in the transcript) for Project Smoke Stacks; motions carried unanimously.

The Conway City Council moved into executive session to discuss appointments, potential contractual agreements, an economic development opportunity called Project Smoke Stacks and a contractual matter with the Horry County Community Land Trust under applicable South Carolina code sections. After returning to open session, council voted to reappoint a slate of board and commission members and selected a developer for Project Smoke Stacks.

Council reappointments announced in open session included members to the Board of Zoning Appeals and other boards (transcript names include Ken Hagen, Catherine Dingell, Paul Lawson, Troy Roan, Greg Bronson, Tyler Thomas, Cindy Davis and others referenced by the presiding official). The council then moved and selected a developer for Project Smoke Stacks; the transcript records the chosen party as RDE (the agenda and discussion referenced multiple developer proposals using variants RTE/JNT/RDE in the record). The presiding official announced that the motion carried unanimously.

Council concluded business by adjourning. The transcript records that any formal contract or implementation steps will follow standard procurement and contracting procedures; no detailed contract terms were read into the public record at the meeting.
