SUMMARY: City leaders in Loris are seeking community block grant funding to enhance downtown and housing initiatives. At a public meeting, residents shared their concerns about public safety, the need for multifamily housing, and downtown revitalization. Joshua Franklin, a local coffee shop owner, emphasized the potential for development, citing that more families are present outside city limits but not contributing to local taxes. Key issues identified by the Wakamau Regional Council of Governments include revitalizing downtown, addressing housing needs, and improving public safety. The council will assess these needs before presenting them to the Loris City Council for consideration.
