Join Us for the PGS Town Hall Social

Please join us on September 25 from 4:00 to 6:00pm for this opportunity to mix and meet with fellow investors at the historic Myrtle Beach Train Depot!

We are excited to share not only the progress we have made over the last 6 months, but also a "peek under the tent" of what's coming next.

Panel Q & A

As you know, a big part of our role is to facilitate a collaborative relationship between all the entities that are focused on the growth of the Myrtle Beach and surrounding areas.

You will get mini-updates from the Myrtle Beach Regional Economic Development Team, the City of Myrtle Beach Economic Development team, the Myrtle Beach Downtown Alliance, Myrtle Beach Regional Economic Development Corporation, and Coast RTA. Additionally, all of these entities will answer your questions during a town hall panel discussion.

So please join us... grab a beer or glass of wine and see old friends and new... and bring along a friend if you wish!

The event is free. Registration is required but space is limited, so please register as soon as possible. Click on the link or QR code below to register.|

PGS NEW PODCAST

Get ready! Our PGS Thrivin’ at the Beach podcast launches on September 14!

This podcast will be available on our YouTube channel as well as wherever you listen to your podcasts. Tune in and hear what is coming to the Grand Strand! We are excited to keep you in the loop on how we’re Thrivin’!

Apply Today for a RISE Summer Intern!

Let us do the work! Just write a short description and the skills required and CCU will do the rest: advertise, select top quality candidates, and provide all payroll services.

Once sponsors commit to hosting an internship, the sponsor and student will be responsible for arranging the schedule and responsibilities, which will be documented and filed with Dr. Pamela Martin from CCU. Please see the attached flyer for details.

Upcoming Opportunity Dates

Summer 2025: May-August
