Cayce council spotlights three regional projects as tourism drivers
Summary
During a July 16 vision session, Cayce council members discussed the Thomas Dambo Troll, the 12,000 Year History Park and the Lexington County Sports Complex as projects that could drive visitors, and explored linking them through the Riverwalk and downtown amenities.
Council members at the July 16 Vision Planning Session identified three regional projects as potential anchors for tourism growth: the Thomas Dambo Troll public-art installation, the 12,000 Year History Park and the Lexington County Sports Complex. The transcript records that council members viewed the convergence of those projects as “transformative opportunities to attract visitors, strengthen regional tourism, and generate additional economic development.”
Discussion centered on coordinating marketing and visitor flows so that visitors who come for one attraction would be encouraged to visit others. Staff and council spoke about using the Riverwalk, downtown Cayce and State Street as connective corridors to create multi-destination visitor experiences; council members supported continued evaluation of these initiatives in Cayce’s long-range planning.
