He estimates that the much-needed evacuation route project will bring in about 29,000 new jobs. Congressman Tom Rice has been pushing for the roadway for at least ten years. I-73 would start in Marlboro County, go through Dillon County, cross I-95 and then come into Horry County using Highway 22.

I enjoy dogs, cats, road trips, photography, writing, vegetarian food, live music, bicycling and above all my daily walks on the beaches in and around the Grand Strand.
