Myrtle Beach regional development officials report sharp rise in business leads
Summary
Sandy Davis told the council the Myrtle Beach Regional Development effort has seen leads climb from 26 last year to 75 so far in 2025, credited trade-show outreach and new staff hires, and highlighted available spec buildings and site-selection efforts.
Sandy Davis, presenting the Myrtle Beach Regional Economic Development update, said the office has seen a pronounced increase in business leads this year: "As of right now, we are at 75 leads as of today." She told council members the increase follows trade-show outreach and two new staff hires last fall that expanded marketing capacity.
Davis described available inventory that officials are promoting to prospects, including a speculative building at Ascot Valley of a little over 100,000 square feet (expandable to 153,000) and a new 178,000-square-foot multi-tenant building in the Palmetto Coast Industrial Park. She said several projects—three actively looking at the Ascot Valley site and seven prospect companies linked to the multi-tenant building—are in negotiation, and that the department continues active mission and site-selector outreach in markets such as Chicago, Toronto and Minneapolis.
