This Golden LEAF grant will assist Columbus County in completing a wastewater system upgrade that will provide increased sewer capacity to area commercial and residential users. The sewer capacity is necessary for a planned expansion that will allow a local industry to create 70 jobs. The wastewater upgrade is being undertaken in partnership with the Towns of Bolton, Whiteville and Lake Waccamaw, and will facilitate the development of a regional wastewater system that will serve unsewered communities in Bolton and Lake Waccamaw, and provide necessary infrastructure for future economic development along the future US 74 corridor.
