That's good stuff! It's awesome to see second-tier downtowns like Florence and Spartanburg getting in on the downtown action.

A new restaurant is also coming to downtown Florence: https://www.scnow.com/news/business/local/article_46839594-96bc-11e9-8654-7379538392e3.html

Finally getting the details on the project planned for the 200 block of West Evans St.

City council moves forward on $65 million project

The economic development project is expected to be a mixed-use development featuring a hotel, condos, an office complex and a parking garage.

It is believed that the project is related to the city’s two issuances of two bond anticipation notes valued at more than $7 million.

Information provided to the council regarding the re-issuance of the bond anticipation notes indicates the project will include a public investment of approximately $17 million.

Renovations planned for Carolina Theater

Florence City Manager Drew Griffin and Assistant City Manager Kevin V. Yokim presented information to the Florence City Council about a planned bond issue soon to be before the council for approval.

The potential $31.5 million bond issue includes approximately $2 million for renovations for the Carolina Theater on South Dargan Street. Originally, the city administration planned to issue the bonds in November 2020, but the recent drop in interest rates has caused the city to look at bumping those plans up to take advantage of the lower rates.

Griffin said on Wednesday the goal of the city’s renovations would be to construct a 200- to 250-seat music venue that could also host weddings and conferences and show older movies similar to the Nickelodeon Theater in downtown Columbia.

The building would also be equipped with a restaurant kitchen to cater the events.

Griffin added that the city’s downtown has venues like the Francis Marion University Performing Arts Center that can support a larger audience and several bars and restaurants downtown that host musical acts on a regular basis for smaller audiences. The city, however, does not have a venue in the middle of those two extremes, Griffin said.
