Video Recap - Fall Budget Planning Retreat
On Thursday, December 8, 2022, Horry County held the Fall Budget Planning Retreat to begin discussions of the budget for the next fiscal year.
During the meeting, County staff presented County Council with an overview of the County's current financial position, provided updates on upcoming and ongoing projects, and shared individual department needs.
The aim of the Fall Budget Planning Retreat is to provide County Council with information that enables them to give staff guidance on the desired direction of the budget. That conversation will continue over the coming months, ultimately resulting in the drafting of the budget in the Spring.
Want to learn more? You can rewatch the retreat any time on the Videos page of our website.
