Final Cherry Grove Canals Dredging Project Public Hearings set for June 30, 9:00 a.m. and July 1, 9:00 a.m. at City Hall

Property owners who have provided the North Myrtle Beach City Manager with a written objection to their assessment within the Cherry Grove canals dredging project special assessment district may verbally support their written objections during a June 30, 9:00 a.m. public hearing or a July 1, 9:00 a.m. public hearing at City Hall. Property owners will sign in at 9:00 a.m. on either date and will be heard on a first-come, first-served basis.

Although the public hearings are open to the public, only property owners within the assessment district who have provided the City Manager with written objections to their assessments may speak. A property owner may be represented by an attorney.

Property owners who file written objections to their assessments are not required to participate in one of the public hearings. Their written objections will still be made part of the record.

The final date and time for providing the City Manager with a written objection to an assessment is July 1 at 9:00 a.m. Property owners who do not meet that deadline will be deemed to have consented to their assessment.

A panel made up of City Council members will listen to each property owner who opts to provide verbal support for their written objection. The panel’s role is to gather information, not to make decisions. The City Clerk will record each public hearing.

At a later date, City Council will convene in public session to vote on each written objection.
