Myrtle Beach & Grand Strand - Future Growth Predicted -

Federal Approval Granted for Interstate 73 South Project Route to Myrtle Beach.

The Myrtle Beach area of South Carolina has reason to rejoice. The recent Federal approval of the I-73 road project, which will run between Detroit, Michigan and the Myrtle Beach/Grand Strand will improve coastal access and support economic growth by linking the Myrtle Beach area to I-95.

Tourist and permanent residents of the Myrtle Beach area are increasing each year. Yearly, more than 80 percent of the area's 14 million tourists use South Carolina's road system. For those Myrtle Beach tourists traveling from points north will be relieved to cut traveling time. Myrtle Beach residents will be happy to have easy access to Interstate 95 which currently takes an hour and a half of travel over congested roads.

South Carolina's segment of Interstate 73 (I-73) is expected to support economic development and to improve hurricane evacuation by allowing reversing southbound lanes to relieve congestion and increase better traffic mobilization during an emergency evacuation.

Like other metropolitan areas, Myrtle Beach must have major roads, highways and infrastructure in order to see significant growth. With the approval of the last leg of
I-73 the Grand Strand will be closer to reaching planning and growth goals.

With I-73 will come what businesses need with easy accessibility for shipping, convenient travel that will draw large groups and organizations and a quicker more direct route for in state and out of state travelers whether business or recreational.

All this will make Myrtle Beach even more appealing as a world class resort and put in place the pieces needed for non tourist business interest that will enhance local employment opportunities.

Developments like the I-73 route to Myrtle Beach will continue to the Myrtle Beach real estate market strong, despite a slowing economy. And now is the time to buy a Myrtle Beach home, Myrtle Beach condo, or Myrtle Beach apartment.
