Follow the infrastructure

If you want to know where future growth will happen, follow your local infrastructure: Roads, Water, Sewer, Power. Here in Georgetown County, South Carolina we are watching the corridor of Highway 701 that runs north out of Georgetown, South Carolina to Conway, South Carolina. From the recent Plantersville zoning meetings to the continued speculation about where a future road will cross the Waccamaw River and Intracoastal Waterway to connect the Waccamaw Neck to Highway 701, this area is changing.

One entity to watch carefully is the Georgetown County Water and Sewer District (GWSD). Don't be fooled by the name, this is a private water company and must make a profit to survive. In other words, they expand in areas that promise a viable customer base. One such area is Plantersville, S.C.

GWSD has applied for financial assistance from the federal government to continue their public sewer system from Georgetown, north across the Black River and into an area encompassing most of Plantersville. An environmental assessment must be done for this project and copies of it have been made available to the public.

As real estate professionals it is our duty to constantly educate ourselves and discover material facts about areas, neighborhoods, and specific properties. Knowledge and experience are how we add value to a transaction, never stop learning.
