MBREDC April 2024 Event:

Members’ Spring Social at Myrtle Beach Pelicans

The MBREDC Members’ Spring Social was a homerun hit with over 100 members in attendance. Thank you to Shade & Shutter Expo for sponsoring this yearly event.

Our March class began in the Ascott Valley Industrial Park at Skutchi Designs, specializing in creating customized office furniture and cubicles.

Also in Ascott Valley, we visited Homewood Metalworks new facility, a family-owned business, that manufactures metal buildings, roofs, and all accessories.

Lewis Truck Lines is a family-owned trucking company that has been in business since 1935. They focus on meeting customer’s needs by transporting the goods safely to desired destinations in 48 states.

Next up was a tour of the Academy for Technology and Academics where students are being prepared for the future through a variety of majors, including Culinary Arts, who prepared a delicious meal for us.

We rounded out the day at PTR, a firearms manufacturer located in the Cool Springs Industrial Park, and Zephyr International who design, develop and manufacture products and services that enhance the safety of helicopter rescue hoist teams. What a day!

Visit the websites of these local industries to learn more about what is being made in Horry County and the jobs they offer.

Thank you to each of these businesses for welcoming our class.

The groundbreaking event marked the beginning of construction for a $56 million, four-story, 48-bed facility that will serve the growing population of Horry County and the Grand Strand area. The construction project is expected to take two years to complete with an anticipated opening in 2026. This will be the first new hospital built in Horry County since McLeod Health Seacoast opened in 2011.
