I thought some time ago that Harvey Gantt.. a prominent african amerian architect, former Mayor of Charlotte and Clemson Alum did some pro bono work to come up with a Master Plan for the town? I had heard that he had been talking with likes of Magic Johnson and others to do some form of resort with a Caribbean Theme in order to pay homage, though indirectly, to the African American culture?
It would be nice if someone could develop a proposal for a swath of the property owners where they could ground lease their property to a developer or form some sort of cooperative or LLC which would allow them to maintain some form of ownership interest in their property in addition to deriving some residual income from it? It appears that fear and lack of knowledge could be the root cause of their anst and it mainifest itself in the form of "dont trust the man" or each other for that matter. The NAACP(Horry Chapter) should devote some of its time to helping the town and its people connect with resources(technical assistance) and in exploring options that meet the needs of its residents in achieving common vision.
