Amazon Plans New Delivery Center in Carolina Forest Near Myrtle Beach

Construction is underway on a major new logistics facility in the Carolina Forest area, as Amazon moves forward with plans to build a delivery center designed to improve service and speed across the Grand Strand.

The new delivery hub is being developed on Postal Way, across from the Wizard Golf Course, on a site spanning more than 27 acres. Once completed, the facility will serve as a key distribution point for packages destined for homes and businesses throughout Horry County and surrounding communities.

Expanding Infrastructure to Support a Growing Region

The Carolina Forest area has experienced steady growth in recent years, with new neighborhoods, businesses, and services continuing to emerge. The addition of a large-scale delivery center reflects both the population increase and the rising demand for faster shipping and logistics support across the region.

According to local officials, the new facility will help streamline deliveries for area residents while also supporting the company’s operational network throughout coastal South Carolina. The project is expected to generate new employment opportunities and contribute to the region’s ongoing economic development, though specific job numbers have not yet been confirmed.

The development is moving forward without local tax incentives. County leaders have emphasized that the project includes coordination on traffic planning to help manage the flow of delivery vehicles in the surrounding area. Access to Highway 501 is expected to be a key part of the transportation strategy, with delivery routes designed to avoid peak congestion when possible.

Community Response Reflects Growth and Change

As with many large developments in rapidly growing communities, reactions among local residents have been mixed. Some residents have expressed concern about potential increases in traffic and the need for continued infrastructure improvements as the population expands. Others see the new facility as a natural step forward for a region experiencing strong economic and residential growth.

Local leaders note that the area’s long-term planning includes infrastructure investments intended to keep pace with development. Horry County has established a multi-county business park framework that will help direct future tax revenue generated in the corridor toward road improvements and transportation upgrades.

What It Means for the Grand Strand

Large-scale logistics investments often signal continued confidence in a region’s growth and economic stability. For the Myrtle Beach area, the addition of a new delivery hub reflects increasing demand from both residents and visitors who rely on fast and reliable shipping services.

While construction continues and timelines remain flexible, the project represents another step in the ongoing evolution of Carolina Forest and the greater Myrtle Beach region. As new businesses, residential communities, and infrastructure projects take shape, the Grand Strand continues to expand as both a destination and a place people choose to call home.

For visitors and property owners alike, continued investment in local infrastructure supports the convenience and accessibility that define the Myrtle Beach experience.
