3 PM to 5 PM
The Comprehensive Plan is a set of community goals and strategies for implementation that present a vision for the future of Horry County. It serves as a flexible blueprint to guide decision-making by policy makers, community organizations and private property owners. The Comprehensive Plan consists of maps and written policy statements, including goals and objectives, addressing issues relating to growth, housing, economic development, transportation, environment, parks and open space conservation, aesthetics, community character, and neighborhood and historic preservation.

The Envision 2025 Steering Committee is currently working with staff to update all of the elements in the Comprehensive Plan. The process started in March 2005 and is expected to take two years to complete. The updated plan should be a reflection of the county’s desire to maintain a sustainable economy, protect natural and cultural resources, accommodate growth, and provide for the efficient delivery of public services in a fiscally responsible manner. The plan will provide vision and direction for the future of Horry County. The updated plan will be presented to the public for comment through a series of open houses; the plan will then be sent to the Planning Commission for recommendation and to County Council for adoption.
Greetings from the Comprehensive Plan Steering Committee –

The last meeting was on Thursday June 21st . The Steering Committee membership, listed below, represents diverse interests and geographic areas. We assure you that one of the things we all have in common is our desire to see Horry County grow and prosper in a way that is beneficial for all its residents.

The Steering Committee has been meeting since March of 2005 to update the Horry County Comprehensive Plan. We envision a plan that will support responsible growth by conserving natural resources, enhancing cultural and historic assets, and providing adequate public infrastructure and community facilities. In addition, the plan will advocate that the County ensure public safety, supply an array of housing options, and stimulate diverse economic opportunities. In so doing, the County will remain a desirable place to live and visit for future generations.

One of the most important tasks of the Steering Committee is to ensure that the interests of the public are heard and incorporated. We are happy to discuss your concerns regarding the many complex issues and topics being addressed in the comprehensive planning process. We have created this website as a way to keep you updated on our progress. We have also created an e-mail address, envision2025@horrycounty.org, in order for you to voice your opinions and ideas. Your input is valuable as we move forward with this blueprint for the future of Horry County.
