Public Safety Expansion Horry County is investing in public safety infrastructure, including a potential $130 million jail tower project to address overcrowding and mental health/substance abuse care. This signals a significant opportunity to offer facility management, security technology, inmate management systems, and mental health support services.

Digital Security Focus The tech stack includes Microsoft Active Directory, Intune, Splunk, KnowBe4 and other security/monitoring tools, indicating a mature IT environment with ongoing needs for cybersecurity, threat detection, endpoint management, and security awareness training solutions.

Growth & Development County plans and partnerships around large development projects (for example Pine Ridge with infrastructure, transportation, utilities and stormwater planning) suggest opportunities in project management software, GIS, civil engineering tools, ERP/financial solutions, and citizen services digital transformation.

Community & Compliance With federal collaboration and complex regulatory interactions (e.g., ICE agreements and public safety oversight), there is a need for compliance, records management, case management, and data governance solutions to support transparency and accountability.

Economic Scale Revenue in the range of hundreds of millions and a sizable workforce indicate opportunities for enterprise vendor partnerships in enterprise-grade IT services, cloud migrations, managed services, and interdepartmental collaboration platforms to improve efficiency across a 500–1,000 employee government organization.
