Georgetown County is experiencing a remarkable era of growth, turning its rich history into a blank canvas for economic and cultural redevelopment. In this episode, host Scott Richards sits down with Catherine Dixon from the Georgetown County Chamber of Commerce to discuss the dynamic initiatives driving this local transformation. From the uncommercialized charm of Pawleys Island to the massive mixed-use redevelopments taking over legacy industrial spaces like Front Street’s old steel mill, Catherine provides an insider’s look at a community on the rise.
They dive deep into two major programs fueling this momentum: the Minority Business Accelerator—a grueling five-month “condensed business degree” equipping minority, women, and veteran entrepreneurs with critical resources and pitch competitions—and Leadership Georgetown County, a 34-year-old network connecting local changemakers across all industries. Catherine also previews an exciting summer lineup, including the upcoming National Hammock Day celebration at the Hammock Shops Village and a sneak peek at a fun new art installation bringing bronze foxes to Front Street. Tune in to discover how Georgetown is actively working on its future, not just in it!
