Horry County penny tax

International Drive will connect Highway 31 to Highway 90 but the project gets funding from a capital projects sales tax known as 'The Penny Tax'. Twelve other projects are in line first and if the money runs out the dirt road is out of luck.

The county is obligated to finish the projects until the money runs out or until seven years is up whichever comes first.

If everything goes according to schedule the county will start these road designs by February of 2009.

Horry County will hold a workshop August 5, at 6 pm to address the Aynor overpass.
