Horry County Council adopts Imagine 2040 five‑year review, adds resilience element
Summary
Horry County Council on Nov. 18 adopted the five‑year review of its Imagine 2040 comprehensive plan after a presentation by planning staff, which reported 799 public survey responses and the addition of a new resilience element.
Horry County Council adopted the five‑year review of the Imagine 2040 comprehensive plan on Nov. 18 after a presentation by Heather Davis of the county planning and zoning department.
"We initiated the process with planning commission in May, and then our public outreach started from July through September," Davis said, describing outreach that included an online survey, a story map and a draft plan that drew 799 survey responses. She said the review added a new resilience element and relied on maps and input from partner agencies.
Council discussed the materials briefly and voted to adopt the plan as amended; the meeting record shows the motion carried on a voice vote with the chair saying, "All in favor, aye." No roll‑call tally was provided in the transcript.
Why it matters: The comprehensive plan guides land use and infrastructure priorities across Horry County. The added resilience element signals attention to storm‑related and other long‑term risks as the county updates its policy framework.
Next steps: The council adopted the plan at first reading as amended and will follow standard implementation procedures through planning staff and subsequent ordinance updates as needed.
