North Myrtle Beach Faces Tension Over New 613-Home Subdivision Proposal
Oh, North Myrtle Beach, the lovely coastal city that many call home, is buzzing with talk about a proposed 613-home subdivision known as The Preserve. This exciting project is almost at the finish line for approval, but some city leaders are raising alarms that could change everything. With so much on the table, let’s dive into what this means for the residents and the community.
The Project in a Nutshell
The Preserve is not just any ordinary housing project; it is envisioned as a vibrant community, originally pitched with big plans that included 804 homes and a whopping 10,000-square-foot commercial building. Picture all that potential bustling with activity! However, the number of homes has since been trimmed back to 609, and the commercial space has been scrapped entirely. This might have sounded like a reasonable compromise, but not everyone is on board.
Who’s Behind the Magic?
The Klotz Group of Companies, a Florida-based developer, scooped up the 110 acres of land located strategically between Highway 22 and Carolina Bays Parkway back in 2021. Their goal: to create a community that people will love to live in. Josh Hughes from Long Leaf Real Estate has taken the lead on development, eager to showcase how this project could be a real gem.
