Get involved!! We want to hear from you!
The town will soon have a kickoff to rewrite the Town’s Comprehensive Plan, a process which is required by state law to be completed every 10 years. A Comprehensive Plan serves as a type of “strategic plan” for the community. The plan will include a total of ten topics or “elements,” including land use, population, economic development, natural resources, cultural resources, priority investment, resiliency, housing, and transportation. The plan will include an inventory of existing conditions, as well as specific goals and implementation strategies for each element. The plan will serve as an overall vision for the community and will guide future policy decisions of Town Council.
The official “Kickoff” will be held in December. Keep an eye on the Town’s website and Town's pages for the date and times!

8:45 AM THURSDAY TROPICAL STORM IAN UPDATE

Ian is now a tropical storm and will head back over water soon. Wind shear and dry air favor weakening while the position of a trough and warm water suggest slight strengthening. These parameters counter one another so likely little change in strength with Ian up through landfall most likely near Charleston tomorrow afternoon. Bottomline, Friday is going to be a very nasty day.

RAIN: 3-7 inches (Heavy at times Friday. Ends Friday late evening. Looks mostly dry Saturday.

WIND: 40-50 mph (few gusts to 55). Ramping up Friday morning, peaking Friday afternoon and evening. Subsiding overnight.

TORNADO: small risk Friday afternoon and evening.

SURGE: 2-4 feet Friday a few hours either side of high tide around 11:15am and 11:30pm.

As always, look for my Facebook live from last night for more details.

I’ll have a much more detailed update later this morning.
