Santee Cooper Winyah Station in Georgetown is scheduled to run until 2034. That is the last I heard anyway. I know they are spending money in the plant so I am hopeful.
Did the the Georgetown Mill have a cogeneration facility? Don't most of those paper mills sell electricity too?

Exactly right. There is no such thing as a "timber investment" anymore. Land prices will continue to rise like the past couple of years due to availability. Go to Landwatch and see how few properties are for sale in the market from years past. People are holding property right now and in turn there are minimal tracts for sale which is a big driver of Bare Land Values. With fewer tracts for sale agents are seeing how far they can extend the goal posts.

The only issue is that the only thing to draw to Gtown is tourism after this. Gtown for all intents and purposes is pretty run down and unless you fish or want to visit a few historical sites, there just isn't much there. Pawleys is the closest beach and with little to no parking plus struggling to fill houses there now, I just don't see it. People want to live on the north side of the bridges moving into the area. I have some houses going on the south end and we are getting people from Mt. P moving up here, cashing in on a house they paid $180K for in the 90's for over $1M and commuting to work or retiring. This is going to be a big hit to this town, way above my pay grade on how to remedy the loss. Decades of lack of forward thinking and a plan for if/when this happens is going to take a while to overcome.
Yeah, but do you consider a dog to be a filthy animal? I wouldn't go so far as to call a dog filthy but they're definitely dirty. But, a dog's got personality. Personality goes a long way.

Dredging and opening a shipping channel through Winyah would be a huge undertaking. Then you have to develop the infrastructure for port use. The Sampit is narrow and relatively shallow too. Doubt anyone would look at the needed investment capital and see that as wise.

Steel mill then paper mill.
