Earlier this year, the three parties developed the framework for a new lease. Under that proposal, the team's rent would increase from $150,000 per year to $750,000 and the lease would extend through 2045. The $20 million stadium project would include upgrades to the visitors and home clubhouses, bullpens, warning track and video board, among multiple other improvements, according to county records.

CONWAY — Horry County voters could be asked to approve an extra 1 percent sales tax next year in a swap that would lower property tax bills and generate additional money for local governments in the rapidly growing region.

Attorney General's Office for an opinion before pursuing a referendum.
