McMaster’s Executive Budget Calls For $300 Million Investment Into I-73 | Picpedia
Gov. Henry McMaster (R-S.C.) is urging the start of construction of the long-awaited Interstate 73 project.
In the new executive budget released Friday, the governor’s office recommended a $300 million investment to jumpstart the project, providing “an important boost to start work on a project that will serve as a catalyst for local and federal government partners to finalize their own investment plans.”
The proposed interstate would run through parts of the Pee Dee along I-95 as a new route to Myrtle Beach.
Friday’s update mirrors a proposal McMaster made in 2021 for $300 million in state funds for the project. He added that the state would come up with half of the total $1.6 billion cost of I-73, while local and federal governments would be responsible for the other half.
