In a move to prioritize environmental sustainability, Georgetown County officials are backing a substantial acquisition of 4,148 acres in Carvers Bay, which will be transformed into a state forest. Another expansive parcel on Waccamaw Neck is also earmarked for conservation. Officials assert that the benefits of long-term land preservation significantly outweigh the potential revenue from taxes, ensuring the safeguarding of precious natural resources in the region.
