SUMMARY: A proposed development on 45 acres along Old Reeves Ferry Road, aiming to build 32 single-family homes, faced strong opposition from local residents. Concerns included increased traffic on an already congested road, inadequate traffic studies, stormwater management issues due to the terrain, and existing homes in the area remaining unsold. Neighbors emphasized the potential negative impact on their community and the environment, citing insufficient absorption of rainwater after tree removal. Despite a developer’s assurances, Commissioner Jeremy Prince recommended a no vote, leading the Planning Commission to ultimately reject the project, which will now go to the Ory County Council.

The Horry County Planning Commission turned down a large development upsetting some neighbors Thursday night.

Old Reaves Ferry Road in Conway had the possibility to hold 32 single-family homes.
