Peace All!

After folks stayed in the Beaufort County Council chambers from 3 pm to 11:30 pm on Monday night for the caucus and council meeting, Beaufort County Council voted to deny the latest request to remove 502 acres of property which is Pine Island and St. Helenaville from the St. Helena Cultural Protection Overlay District.  In the executive session, the county also refused aa settlement.  We will take this case to a courtroom in Virginia on December 10th.  We will keep you posted about this.

Here is the latest news coverage about this:
