This will serve as a guide for future development.
Mark your calendars for our next quarterly meeting with a program about the history of the Burgess Community on September 22nd. We have changed the starting time to 6:30 p.m.

Rezoning case #2022-06-008 is on the agenda for the Planning Commission's meeting July 7th. This case would amend the existing PDD for the vacant property in front of Oak Hampton on Hwy 707 to be developed as multi-family residential. The plan calls for 12 three story apartment buildings with a total of 288 units plus duplexes of 14 units and townhomes of 26 units for grand total of 328 units.
The Board of Directors of the Greater Burgess Community Association opposes this rezoning because the density is excessive for our suburban area. Attached is our letter to the Planning Commission.

Horry County Schools will host our quarterly meeting. Even if you do not have children in our local schools, you are still paying school taxes so come learn more about the operations of our local school district, the incredible work and achievements that are happening in our schools, and the many volunteer opportunities that exist for you to get involved with the youth in our community.
