Beaufort County shuts down Pine Island developer's latest request

The Beaufort County Council voted 7-3 Monday to reject a developer’s latest attempt to remove land he owns from a type of zoning that is blocking a proposed golf course strongly opposed by many residents. It was the third time since 2023 that the county rejected zoning changes sought by Elvio Tropeano, that would lift a Cultural Protection Overlay (CPO) from 502 acres on St. Helena Island off of Dulamo and St. Helenaville roads. Tropeano’s company, Pine Island Property Holdings LLC, has been trying to build a golf course-centered housing development on the property for years. The CPO allows residential development but prohibits golf courses, gates and resorts. Monday’s vote does not end the dispute. Tropeano, who is suing the county over the zoning issue, publicly outlined a proposed settlement at Monday’s meeting. But council members rejected it, meaning the litigation will continue. The decision on the zoning and settlement questions followed hours of testimony as opponents and supporters revisited the long-running and increasingly contentious dispute pitting development against St. Helena Island’s cultural heritage. Tropeano and his attorney, Kevin Dukes, have argued that the county is treating the project unfairly compared with other developments. They also criticized the county planning

U.S. 278 widening between Hilton Head and I-95 moves forward. Here's what to know

Jasper County is advancing plans to widen a 4-mile stretch of U.S. 278 to six lanes between the Beaufort County line and John Smith Road. The $80 million project is funded by a 2024 voter-approved penny sales tax, with construction expected to begin in 2033. FULL STORY: Road between Hilton Head and I-95 is widening. What to expect Here are key takeaways: Two options on the table: Alternative 1 widens U.S. 278 to the outside, keeping the 48-foot-wide grassy median. Alternative 2 widens into the existing median, requiring a concrete barrier at intersections and crossovers. Project manager’s view: Jeff Buckalew of Infrastructure Consulting & Engineering said widening to the outside is preferable, “but we’ll see what the public says.” Where things stand: The public comment period has closed, but Jasper County officials said no decisions have been made. They are using public input and other information to determine a preferred alternative that will guide the design work ahead. Timeline and cost: The $80 million project will be built in two phases, with right-of-way acquisition starting in 2029, construction in 2033 and roughly three years to complete. How it’s funded: Voters approved a 1% sales tax in 2024 expected to raise

Will 163-year-old Beaufort National Cemetery find new home and room to grow in Bluffton?

The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs is hunting for new spots across Beaufort County to expand or replace the landmark 163-year-old Beaufort National Cemetery. 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. Major expansion completed President Abraham Lincoln created the cemetery during the Civil War for Union soldiers who died in local hospitals during the federal occupation following the 1861 Battle of Port Royal. It contains over 18,500 to 19,000 burials spanning every major American conflict from the
