Construction underway on six buildings on 9th Ave. N in Arts and Innovation District

MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. (WMBF) – Construction crews are working to bring six buildings in downtown Myrtle Beach back to life.

Director of business development with Mashburn Construction, Josh Kay, said once the buildings are finished and new businesses move in, it should bring more people to the Arts and Innovation District.

“We anticipate this bringing more locals and more tourists into the area – an area that really was really forgotten about,” Kay said. “And so we’re excited about that.”

The building at 509 9th Avenue North will be the HTC Aspire Hub. It’s the city’s collaboration with HTC.
