Owner of Hardwick and Associates, a small engineering company that specializes in infrastructure design. Chairman of the Horry County Stormwater Advisory Committee. An Environmental Engineer (73/75) with the state Department of Health and Environmental Control, District Engineer and Director of Environmental Quality Control for the Pee Dee Region (77), then Engineering Manager and Acting Director of Grand Strand Water & Sewer Authority (78/80). He began work in the private sector in late 1980 coordinating infrastructure development for Deerfield Plantation. In 1983, he started engineering consulting as Hardwick & Associates -- specializing in the construction of water, sewer and drainage infrastructure -- and he and a partner started Surfside Pine, Inc. a construction company that built a few apartments near Surfside Beach. He holds a bachelor's degree in chemical engineering and a masters degree in environmental engineering from Clemson University. He believes that providing better educational opportunities is a necessity if we are to attract better paying jobs to Horry County; nevertheless, he believes the overhead and administration in public education can and should be lowered, including eliminating approximately 40 excess SC school districts. He says that the Horry County School District is doing a good job, but, in common with the infrastructure bank is not getting its fair share of state funding. He relates how Horry County was one of the first counties to be funded by the State infrastructure bank, and agreed to pay a much greater share of the cost of its roads than other areas of the state have been required to pay. He believes that the state should include new school construction in its allowed list for impact fees. For photographs and more details, click http://www.nelsonhardwick.com.
