One top contender is apparently a 100-acre wooded lot in Bluffton near the May River, about 25 miles away from the current location. That Bluffton property is going for $6.5 million , but local zoning rules currently ban cemeteries, so the owner has been trying to get Beaufort County to change the rules. However, the Beaufort County Council rejected the proposed text amendment in a 7-3 vote Monday, preventing cemeteries within the May River Community Preservation District. Despite the setback, representatives for the property owners intend to explore alternative legislative routes to enable the land sale. Real estate broker John Binder affirmed, “We’re not going to give up.” The urgency for a zoning solution stems from space constraints at the historic 44-acre Beaufort National Cemetery, which is rapidly approaching capacity.

Inspectors from the SCDA inspect restaurants and other food-serving establishments across the state on a routine basis.
