A local citizen donated the lot containing the ruined front brick wall of the former Ritz theater to the town.  Millions in government grants resulted in a complete rebuild effort that was completed in 2014. The former theater is now the Ritz Center, a community center for the arts.  The mayor of the town has a comedy act that is a frequent performer.  The building sits empty for much of the year.<ref>{{cite web |last=Niven |first=Deuce |url=http://www.fayobserver.com/news/local/article_d28fa8cc-0112-5518-898e-1cb41fe93365.html |title=Tabor City leaders unite behind theater restoration effort |publisher=fayobserver.com |date=February 15, 2014 |access-date=April 22, 2014}}</ref><ref name="house">{{cite web|url=http://mcintyre.house.gov/index.php/newsroom/press-releases/786-mcintyre-announces-75000-for-town-of-tabor-city|title=McIntyre Announces $75,000 for Town of Tabor City |publisher=mcintyre.house.gov |access-date=December 6, 2014}}</ref>

The Town Depot project, renamed the Community Center, is being built adjacent to the railroad tracks behind the town library. Community Center construction began in 2021 and is scheduled to be completed in April 2022.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.taborcitycommittee100.com/projects|title=Tabor City Committee of 100 &#124; Projects|website=Tcc100}}</ref>  [[Myrtle Beach]] city leaders are busy converting their railroad corridor to a 2.5 mile public trail for pedestrians and bikes<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.myhorrynews.com/news/why-city-leaders-think-abandoned-railroad-lines-could-spur-growth-in-downtown-myrtle-beach/article_fa459968-f392-11ea-90cb-3b7218555750.html|title=Why city leaders think abandoned railroad lines could spur growth in downtown Myrtle Beach|first=Viraj Naik|last=viraj.naik@myhorrynews.com|website=MyHorryNews.com|date=September 10, 2020 }}</ref>
