City Council Approves Sale of 9th Avenue North Property to TransPerfect Affiliate
The City Council approved the first reading of an ordinance authorizing the sale of city-owned property located at 515 9th Avenue North (PIN 4410033 and 4441034) to Reef Labs LLC, an entity associated with TransPerfect Translation International Inc. TransPerfect, a global leader in translation and language services, plans to occupy and significantly renovate the property, investing an estimated $300,000 to $500,000 to create an urban-style office space. The company anticipates growing its local employee base from 10 to 50 employees within three to five years, aiming to attract talent to Myrtle Beach and contribute to downtown activation.
CocoFlow Innovations to Lease City Building on 9th Avenue North for Headquarters
The City Council approved the first reading of an ordinance to lease city-owned building at 517 9th Avenue North to CocoFlow Innovations Inc. This follows the potential sale of the adjacent property at 515 9th Avenue North to TransPerfect, which will vacate 517 9th Avenue North. CocoFlow Innovations, the company behind the RecPlus software platform for parks and recreation departments, has been a partner with the city since its inception as a living lab participant. They intend to establish their headquarters in Myrtle Beach, bringing jobs and further activating the downtown area. The lease is proposed for 5 years (with a correction from the initially stated 3 years).
Myrtle Beach Council Approves Zoning Amendment to Allow Media Productions Downtown
The City Council held the second reading and approved an ordinance to amend the Myrtle Beach zoning code, specifically Section 1407, to allow video and other media productions as a permitted use in the downtown commercial C7 zoning district. This use is already permitted in four other zoning classifications. The application pertains to a property on Broadway Street, and the change is seen as an improvement to the area.

The Myrtle Beach Downtown Alliance (MBDA) Municipal Improvement District (MID) annual assessment report for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2027, was presented and approved by the City Council. The assessment of 10 mills was approved to generate funds for downtown improvements. The discussion highlighted the importance of the MID in funding the MBDA's operations, which include initiatives like the downtown ambassadors program, events, and general improvements. Council members expressed general satisfaction with the progress made by the MBDA and the direction of downtown development, while also noting the need for continued focus and potential adjustments in the future. The total funding for the MBDA, including MID funds and accommodations tax money, is over $2 million.
