- **Event Start and End Date**: Tue, 02 Sep, 2025 at 04:00 pm – Tue, 02 Sep, 2025 at 08:00 pm
- **Event Description**: Developers are once again pushing to turn Pine Island into a private, gated golf resort—despite years of community opposition and clear zoning protections for St. Helena Island.  
 
This fight is reaching a critical moment in September, now before Beaufort County Council, and your presence at these key meetings can make the difference. 

✊ Show up peacefully to defend the Cultural Protection Overlay (CPO) zoning and protect St. Helena’s Gullah/Geechee heritage and rural character. 
 
Why This Matters 
The proposal is nearly identical to past plans originally presented in 2022 and rejected by the community and County Council in 2023 and again in 2024. 

If approved, nearly 500 acres would be carved out of the CPO, opening the door to resorts, golf courses, and gated communities on St. Helena that the rules were designed to prevent. 

These kinds of developments have a documented history of displacing Gullah/Geechee families along the Sea Islands. The CPO, created in 1999, was meant to stop exactly this. 
 
In May, the Planning Commission unanimously recommended denial of the Pine Island rezoning request.  

Yet, at an August 20th special called meeting, Beaufort County Council voted 5–4 to begin negotiating with the developers, even though the plan clearly conflicts with the zoning code and Comprehensive Plan.  

Without a CPO “carve-out,” there is no path forward for this golf resort—but Council will decide in September whether or not to grant it.
