Myrtle Beach meeting updates residents on Interstate 73's status
MYRTLE BEACH – People from Grand Strand and Pee Dee counties gathered Sunday to discuss Interstate 73 and the issues surrounding the proposed road.
The group I-73 for S.C. facilitated the two and a half hour long meeting at Sandy Grove Missionary Baptist Church in Myrtle Beach in hopes of educating locals on I-73’s potential impact including job creation, tourism growth and economic development.
“Our communities need to be educated on all of the important issues surrounding Interstate 73 and the many benefits the construction of the interstate would bring to our respective regions,” said Myrtle Beach City Councilman Mike Chestnut.
Myrtle Beach Area Chamber of Commerce President Brad Dean attended Sunday’s meeting and said most jobs created in South Carolina are located within 25 miles of an interstate.
"Interstates have created hundreds of thousands of jobs, and it brings in billions, not millions, billions dollars of capital into communities," said Dean.
Horry County Councilman Gary Loftus estimated 4700 construction jobs.
"Just building the highway, the economic output will be close to half a billion dollars per year,” he said. “Income is $171 million per year."
Recently South Carolina's highway commissioners declined to allow a board that oversees the Department of Transportation to borrow $344 million for several road projects including construction of six miles of Interstate 73 in Dillon County and an interchange project on Interstate 85 in Greenville.
The DOT has struggled with cash flow problems over the past few months. The agency had to delay $24 million in resurfacing and other small projects funded by state gas taxes as it tries to build up reserves. Some contractors complained this summer when the DOT had trouble paying contractors within its allowed window of 30 working days. The agency said a $52 million advance from the Federal Highway Administration allowed it to catch up.
