Greetings from the Grand Strand!

Last month's newsletter was loaded with lots of charts, data and analyses. I'll keep it light this month and touch on a few recent press releases.

In a development which will limit oceanfront construction in the future, a bill was passed in the South Carolina legislature which closes a loophole in state law that has allowed new construction closer to the ocean where re-nourishment projects have temporarily widened the beach (resulting  in the official "setback line" being moved seaward). This action is considered a significant, long-term step to prevent construction further out on the beach at a time of rising sea levels. For more details, "Rising seas put brakes on developers expanding to ocean".

More than 17 million visitors have flocked to Myrtle Beach annually since 2014 but the Myrtle Beach Area Chamber of Commerce says the local tourism industry has the capacity to handle 20 million visitors and it plans to reach that goal in the next few years by marketing the Grand Strand as a year-round destination. For more details, "Officials aim to lure 20M tourists to MB annually".

And finally, the Sun Fun Festival is back this weekend after a five-year hiatus. This event, designed in 1951 to attract tourists to the area on an otherwise slow weekend, was suspended in 2012 because officials said it was not bringing in visitors as it had in its early years and was not generating enough revenue to cover expenses. This weekend's activities include a parade, performances by the US Army Golden Knights parachute team, live music, and a series of competitive beach games. For more details, "Sun Fun Festival returns to MB after 5-year hiatus".  Incidentally, the following June weekends should be busy with the Salt Games and the huge Carolina Country Music Festival on tap.

That's it for now. All the usual reports are included as well as this month's Best Buys.

Come see me at the beach!
