KEEPING TRADITION ALIVE While Conway’s growth is undeniable, the city remains deeply rooted in its history and traditions. “We’re very intentional about preserving the character of Conway,” Blain explains.The city’s historic downtown is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and efforts are underway to expand that designation to allow business owners to capitalize on more tax credits and preservation opportunities. Anderson reflects on Conway’s changes over the years, noting that while the city has modernized, it has never lost its sense of identity. “When I was work.” With a wide range of activities available, including access to the nearby Atlantic Ocean, it’s easy to see why Conway is becoming a popular choice for professionals with the flexibility to work remotely. Anderson, who has been involved in Conway’s leadership for decades, also highlights the city’s welcoming nature.“Conway is a place where people care,” he says.“You can feel it in the way folks interact with each other. It’s not just Southern hospitality—a real sense of community.” 146 CIVIL AND MUNICIPAL VOLUME 05, ISSUE 10 CONWAY, SC
