Another Smart City coming to Myrtle Beach? Meta Beach?
More than one hundred wildfires are raging across the Carolinas, causing South Carolina officials to declare a state of emergency as firefighters struggle to contain the blazes.
One fire, around five miles north of Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, grew from 600 to 1,200 acres from Saturday to Sunday with 0% containment.
Local news outlets in September 2023 reported on city staffers looking to make Myrtle Beach a “smart city using new advanced technology” in what they dubbed “the fourth Industrial Revolution,” which is being led by tech giant Meta.
The city’s Chief Innovation Officer Howard Waldie said officials want to use technology to “improve” the environment and have been working to make Myrtle Beach a “smart city” since 2022.
Waldie called the introduction of “smart city” technologies “the next phase of technological evolution.”
