The many attractions of Myrtle Beach have led to the area’s being named by some as the second fastest growing metropolitan area in the country. Between 2000 and 2014, Horry County’s population grew from just under 200,000 to 300,000, a 50 percent growth in just 15 years.
Myrtle Beach Chamber of Commerce President Brad Dean and realtor Radha Herring discuss the features that have attracted so many people to the area, including good schools, mild weather, infrastructure, low taxes – oh, yes, and the beach! These features and more mean the resort town will continue to be a popular place to locate, but Dean and Herring are quick to say that growth is being planned for to make sure it is of benefit to the whole community.
