September 3, 2024

The Town of Hilton Head Island invites residents of the Muddy Creek neighborhood to participate in a special community event aimed at fostering connection, sharing updates, and gathering valuable input from the community.

This Neighborhood Gathering & Cookout will be held on Thursday, September 12, from 5 to 7 pm. at 30 Bryant Road.

“The Muddy Creek Neighborhood has a rich Island history, and there is a lot of work to be done to address the unique infrastructure needs of this area. Engaging with the community to learn about their needs and informing them about Town initiatives and resources is where it all starts,” said Town Manager Marc Orlando. "We are committed to aligning our Strategic Action Plan with the community’s needs to help preserve its character while enhancing its amenities."

During the event, residents will have the chance to meet with Town staff from several departments, including Planning, Engineering, Fire Rescue, Public Safety, Administration, and the Gullah Geechee Community Development Corporation. These staff members will provide information on a variety of ongoing projects and initiatives, including:

• Conceptual plans for the 7.19-acre Site at 30 Bryant Road, which the Town acquired in May 2023
• Efforts to address issues within and enhance the Muddy Creek Neighborhood
• Enhancements to roads, parks, open spaces, and pathways
• Stormwater management and other environmental programs
• Driveway access and property addressing
• Discussions on zoning, districts, and maintaining community character
• The Home Safety Repair Program
• The Sewer Connection Program
• The Historic Neighborhoods Permitting and Design Studio, which assists with addressing, property access, conceptual site design, business licensing, and more
• Public safety and other additional topics

This event is a valuable opportunity for residents to engage directly with Town staff, learn about important initiatives, and share their input on the future of their community. The Town will use input from residents to create plans to enhance the neighborhood.

In addition to exchanges with Town staff, a community cookout will be held, with hamburgers, hotdogs, chips, and beverages for all residents to enjoy. For more information, please contact Quincy White, the Town’s Chief Housing Officer, at 843-715-8244 or QuincyW@hiltonheadislandsc.gov.
