Good things are happening along the Grand Strand this week, from a sparkling streetscape project on one of Myrtle Beach’s most iconic corridors to a month-long faith-based mission that has been serving the North Myrtle Beach community.
The City of Myrtle Beach has begun work on a “Light Up Ocean Blvd.” project, according to WPDE. The initiative aims to brighten the beloved beachfront boulevard, adding to the appeal of a stretch that draws residents and visitors alike throughout the summer season. Infrastructure and beautification projects like this one reflect the city’s ongoing commitment to making Ocean Boulevard an even more welcoming destination.
Meanwhile, in North Myrtle Beach, the Christian ministry organization Cru is wrapping up a summer mission that has kept volunteers busy with community outreach for nearly a full month, WMBF reports. Cru’s Summer Mission programs typically bring college students and young adults together to serve local communities through acts of service, relationship-building, and faith-based engagement. As the mission nears its end, the group leaves behind a month’s worth of positive impact on the North Myrtle Beach area.
Together, these two stories capture the community spirit that makes the Grand Strand such a special place — whether it’s the city investing in its public spaces or dedicated volunteers giving their summer to serve their neighbors.
