Planning staff outlines $72.7M FY26 CIP and $555.6M 10-year plan, including new EMS station
Summary
County staff presented a FY26 capital improvement plan totaling $72.7 million and a 10-year funding forecast of $555.6 million, highlighted by a $30.4 million general obligation bond for public safety projects and a FY27 $60 million placeholder for a detention center.
County planning staff on Wednesday presented the fiscal-year 2026 capital improvement plan and a 10-year debt-service forecast to the Horry County Planning Commission, saying the FY26 program totals $72,700,000 and is funded through a mix of general obligation bonds, fire bonds, impact fees and other funds.
"A general obligation bond of $30,400,000 will cover phase 2 and 3 of the public safety training facility, as well as construction of a new EMS station in the Windy Hill section of North Myrtle Beach," the staff presenter said during the briefing. The presenter also listed a $3,500,000 fire bond to cover remaining construction costs for two fire/EMS stations and said the road fund would contribute $12,700,000, with impact fees, intergovernmental revenue and general-fund amounts filling remaining needs.
Staff showed a 10-year funding projection of $555,600,000, driven primarily by additional general-obligation and fire bond issuances. The presentation included a FY27 placeholder issuance of $60,000,000 tied to a proposed detention-center project, later-year bond issuances for building renovations and phased work on the J. Reuben Long Detention Center and continued capital work on parks, stormwater, transportation and waste-management facilities.
Commissioners did not take action on the CIP during the workshop; staff closed the presentation by inviting questions and said they would follow up with more detail as requested.
