SUMMARY: Residents are concerned about Georgetown County’s new zoning plans, which could allow residential development on golf courses. County leaders propose a Neighborhood Amenity District for low-density development, which some argue threatens existing green spaces. Advocates believe the county should maintain the current conservation agriculture zoning, preventing residential housing on golf courses. Since 1997, these areas have been designated as private recreational with no residential development allowed. Residents argue that the county can redesignate these golf courses to better protect them. While officials claim the plans aim to preserve green spaces, many question the true intentions of course owners and the county’s commitment.

Georgetown County leaders will start to take their swing at more green space and very low-density development on golf courses.

SUMMARY: South Carolina lawmakers continue pushing for legalized sports betting, following North Carolina’s success with a revenue boost after legalization. Representative Todd Rutherford argues the state is missing out on potential tax revenue by not legalizing online sports betting. While some worry about the risks of gambling addiction, particularly among young men, Rutherford emphasizes the need for protections and addiction programs. He points out that addiction to gambling should not result in shutting down the industry, citing alcohol and drug programs as examples. The bill currently has bipartisan support from 11 South Carolina lawmakers.
