North Shore Funding and Projects by Lake Marion

The following are excerpts from an excellent article published by the Manning Times about the North Shore community by Lake Marion near Summerton, SC. - see https://manninglive.com/stories/clarendon-to-receive-700000-grant-for-summerton-water-system,72644

A request on behalf of Clarendon County for a grant of $700,000 was submitted earlier this year. The purpose of the request was to make wastewater improvements to the Summerton area addressing the capacity deficiency for the planned North Shore Hotel Development project. 

The North Shore Hotel Development Project involves the construction of a planned SpringHill Suites by Mariott Hotels, consisting of 117 rooms and several cabins. According to the request submitted by SC Representative Pedalino, the current wastewater system prevents Summerton from having economical development projects from coming to the area because it is at maximum capacity. The $700,000 grant would help the local community to have the North Shore Hotel come to the community and for future development projects. 

Representative Pedalino’s request was granted. She said, “I am proud to have been able to get the funding for the project and to get the project off the ground. The county is going to complete the project. They are just waiting on the Town of Summerton to approve the county to hook up the Summerton water system once everything is complete. 

A statement from the county received reads as follows: “The project will be located on Gordon Road, adjacent to the North Shore at Lake Marion luxury condominiums. It will include a four-story, 117 room hotel, eleven cabins, a restaurant, and an area with single family residences. Access to Lake Marion will also be provided for these homes."

"The $700,000 from the recently passed State Budget for the project will come to the County, and County staff will use these funds to complete the project’s water and sewer infrastructure requirements. Then the completed improvements will be turned over to the Town of Summerton as a connected part of their water and sewer system. This will be a very exciting project for Clarendon County, and residents very much appreciate the Legislative Delegation working to land these funds.”
