The Issues
Growth and Development
There are many moving parts involved with growth and development issues. The Coalition is committed to providing a responsible community voice.
Zoning and Annexation
Annexation should promote long term economic health of the community, allow for reasonable growth and mitigate impacts on traffic, stormwater management and the environment.
Traffic
A central goal of the Coalition is to ensure that new growth and development are located and designed to have the least possible impact on traffic flow.
Tree and Marsh Preservation
People do not move to the Sea Islands because of its commercialism, but because of its unique look, feel and livability. Protecting this is central to the Coalition’s mission.
Political Accountability
Political accountability is the process of holding elected officials and civil servants accountable for decisions affecting their constituents. It is an essential part of good governance.

Alert Us
The greatest enemy of poor official decision-making is sunlight. If you come across any of the telltale early signs of development – survey crews, tree surveyors, posted hearing notices, abutter letters to residents or even grocery store gossip – we want to know about it. Tell us what you know here, and let us know how to reach you. In full confidence.
