SUMMARY: Myrtle Beach is undertaking a beach renourishment project to combat erosion and elevating shorelines, funded by a $72 million contract. This initiative, led by the Army Corps of Engineers, aims to bring sand back to the Grand Strand beaches in response to storms.

The project is set to start this spring and will last approximately 18 months.
