Adam Emrick

For more than a decade, Adam Emrick has led the City of Conway through one of the most dynamic periods of growth and revitalization in its modern history. Under his leadership, Conway has executed transformative projects including the expansion of the Riverwalk and Town Green, the renaissance of downtown through holiday-driven tourism, and the redevelopment planning for the former Santee Cooper Steamplant site. He earned a bachelor’s degree in psychology from The Pennsylvania State University and a Juris Doctorate from Georgia State University. He is a graduate of the Local Government Leadership Institute hosted by the Joseph P. Riley Jr. Center at the College of Charleston. Emrick’s goal for the next several years is to continue shaping a Conway that honors its heritage while embracing bold ideas — building a city where every resident feels proud to call home.
