Save Lewis Ocean Bay
Lewis Ocean Bay needs your protection. Our community is against a hospital located here! A hospital doesn’t belong where controlled burns will produce smoke or two of the largest wildfires in state history have occurred. The controlled burns maintain habitat for rare species of animals and plants. The controlled burns reduce wildfire risk by reducing the forest fuels (pine straw and bay bushes) with each burn. By law, you cannot send smoke toward a hospital. In this case, a hospital will limit controlled burns and cause a public safety hazard.
Ask Conway Medical Center to act in the community’s best interests by choosing another site for the proposed Carolina Forest Hospital on International Drive.
Please get in touch with your county council members if you live in Horry County and share this with friends. https://www.horrycountysc.gov/county-council
December 12, 2023 – 06:00 PM is their next meeting, so go if you can and sign in early to speak.
Folks wishing to speak at the public input must sign up in advance with the county clerk, not on the meeting day. They should plan on a maximum speaking time of five minutes, and they will keep track of the time. The county clerk can be reached at (843) 915-5120.
