Longs industrial park plans to expand with $22M new building
// MY HORRY NEWS
A Longs-area industrial park that currently serves Amazon and Pepsi distributors plans to expand with a 60-acre acquisition, offering more space for industries to step into Horry County.
Palmetto Coast Industrial Park last week celebrated the completion of its third and largest building of 178,000 square feet and announced proposals for a 253,000-square-foot building and two 154,000-square-foot buildings on the newly purchased 60 acres.
Sandy Davis, president and CEO of Myrtle Beach Regional Economic Development, said they have been looking for a way to use the land on Water Tower Road for more than 10 years.
She said both Pepsi and Amazon would not have relocated to Horry County if the buildings had not existed and Chris Norvell, Principal of Edgewater Ventures, was the one willing to take the risk about four years ago.
“Some people would do it, but they really want a tenant before they will build the building. And Chris knew the growth that we had here and he wasn’t scared to take on a project like this, so it has really helped a lot,” Davis said.
The industrial park is located by S.C. 31, S.C. 22 and U.S. 17 on Water Tower Road, making it a viable option for industrial and distribution oriented users.
