Mayor's Corner Cont.

As you read my message and take note of our priorities, I acknowledge that it can be easy to become discouraged about the government's direction. There are many examples of government dysfunction and political discourse across the nation, but this is not the case in Kiawah. Instead, we have proven we can work collaboratively and find innovative solutions to issues.

I am happy to report that our new Council, including Bradley Belt, Russell Berner, Michael Heiningsfelder and John Moffitt, are “all in” and are committed to making necessary and real changes within the Town of Kiawah. The community has the opportunity for active engagement in governance and this Council wants to listen. We will continue to work hard to deliver the leadership you expect from your elected representatives, and together we can move our community forward responsibly. I’m going to conclude by saying this: attend public hearings and town council meetings, share your thoughts and serve on committees so that we can ensure the community works together to envision the Town’s next chapter of success.
