Myrtle Beach’s Arts and Innovation District is finally seeing significant development after years of planning. The district’s development includes the construction of stormwater ponds, underground utilities, and streetscape work. City leaders have highly anticipated its development for over a decade.

New businesses like Le Manna International Bakery are opening in the area, contributing to the district’s growth. However, city officials express a desire for more residential development to complement the cultural and economic revitalization. Business owners like Lisa Lee of The Tasting Room on Ninth are enthusiastic about contributing to the community and becoming a local favorite. The ongoing revitalization efforts are expected to involve approximately $32 million in construction costs.
