AirportExperience A BRAND NEW

ONLY ONE STEP AWAY

The land had once belonged to her husband, a Gullah Geechee islander, before it passed to her after his death in 1998. It has been in her family since the end of the Civil War, and Ms Josphine has spent her entire life pouring heart and soul into maintaining it for generations to come. The fight has caught the attention of celebrities, from Tyler Perry to Kyrie Irving, who have contributed to a GoFundMe that was started to help the Wright family cover the costly legal battle, cover property taxes, and construct a fence between the Wright property and the new development. Bailey Point has already taken quite a bit from the community - the land that is now developed was once home to Hilton Head’s diverse wildlife and served as a reminder of what the island once looked like. I hope you’ll join me in working to make sure they don’t take more.
