Winning the battle, losing the war

Our home is located in Dulamo subdivision, which borders Pine Island/St. Helenaville. We have lived here for 33 years. As past president of our HOA for nearly 20 years, Dulamo and Pine Island have had a great relationship. We’d like to see that relationship continue.

Dulamo residents will be the ones who are impacted the most with the proposed development.

One fact is crystal clear, that the Coastal Conservation League and uninformed Beaufort County citizens may not realize that the owner and developer WILL build. To that end, it seems logical that we’d prefer 65 homes and a golf course built rather than 166 homes built.

The Coastal Conservation League and vocal opponents to the development would have won the battle but lost the war.

– Scott and Dawn Shipsey, Dulamo – St. Helena Island

Trash pickup and recycling that is normally scheduled for Mondays will not be interrupted. The City of Beaufort wishes its residents, businesses, and visitors a very happy holiday weekend.
