News Release

Public Meetings Scheduled for Districts Planning Project

January 10, 2025

The Town of Hilton Head Island is hosting meetings to gather public feedback and share information about its Districts Planning Project. The information will help create plans for areas of the island that are not part of the 11 largest master planned communities (Hilton Head Plantation, Palmetto Hall, Port Royal, Indigo Run, Spanish Wells, Wexford, Long Cove Club, Palmetto Dunes, Leamington, Shipyard, and Sea Pines).

The project is divided into distinct planning districts across the island, each characterized by unique land uses, neighborhood features, accessibility, and geography. These district-specific plans will serve as a framework for guiding infrastructure investments, shaping zoning regulations, determining land use, and implementing programs and policies that influence the future of each area. Additionally, these plans will align with and complement the Town’s Comprehensive Plan, Our Plan.

The meetings will be held from 5 to 7 p.m. on the following dates:
