Beaufort County Staff Reviews and Denies Bay Point Destructionment but the Battle Continues

Gullah/Geechee Nation ♦ January 17, 2020 ♦ 2 Comments

Beaufort County staff recently recommended the plan for the resort on Bay Point be denied. But earlier this week, the destructioneers attempted to persuade staff to reverse its decision. County staffers are currently considering their argument and supplemental materials. A final decision will be made next week. We’ll keep you updated. Anticipating that staff will hold steady, the destructioneers have already appealed their case to the Zoning Board of Appeals, which will hear their argument on February 27.

Although public comments are not generally allowed at the ZBOA meeting, we hope you’ll attend and support the staff’s decision. You can also email Beaufort County Planner Eric Greenway at EGreenway@bcgov.net with questions and comments.

The Beaufort County Zoning Board of Appeals Meeting  will be held on February 27 at 5 p.m. at the Beaufort County Government Robert Smalls Complex, 100 Ribaut Road, Beaufort, SC
