Purpose

The Horry County Community and Student Housing Committee is a subcommittee of the County Planning Commission. Chair of the Committee is Commissioner Ed Buffum. The Committee was formed in August, 2008 as a collaborative effort between Horry County, Coastal Carolina University, Horry Georgetown Technical College and the citizens of the County. Tasked with finding a solution to the negative effects of student encroachment into residential neighborhoods, the Committee has held meetings, conducted interviews, solicited feedback, identified the issues, discussed alternatives and recommended a set of actionable items to County Council, the colleges and the residents of the community.

Information pertinent to the work of the Committee is contained herein. Please contact the Horry County Planning and Zoning Department at 843-915-5340 if you have any questions.
