Welcome to Hilton Head Island |
 Hilton Head Island is a town located on an island of the same name in Beaufort County, South Carolina, United States. The island is served by the Savannah-Hilton Head International Airport and by the Hilton Head Airport which is on-island. Hilton Head Island is famous for its world class golf courses and each year hosts the Verizon Heritage Classic Tournament, which is played on the Harbour Town Golf Links in Sea Pines Plantation.
Though known mainly as a tourist destination, Hilton Head has developed a rapidly growing full-time population, made up mostly of affluent transplants from Ohio, New Jersey, and other northern states. It is classified by the U.S. Census Bureau as part of the Hilton Head Island-Beaufort Micropolitan Area, which includes Beafort and Jasper Counties and had a 2005 estimated population of 159,247.

If you are looking at visiting, Hilton Head certainly offers the best to its visitors.

Planning for Hilton Head's Future
January 2010
Late November, Town Council met over a three day period to develop a one and five year strategic plan. Our plan's aim is to enhance your quality of life. Given the changing nature of the Island's life cycle and economy, particular emphasis was given to stimulating economic development. We want our Island to be a fantastic experience for visitors and offer residents varied amenities. With development in Bluffton, we have to be mindful of attracting businesses that offer goods and services to residents and visitors. The revenues they generate help keep your taxes low. Below are some of the priorities adopted by council and the Town Manager's Management agenda.
On a similar note, I have asked several residents to be members of a temporary Task Force for the purpose of re-visiting the Town's vision. I do not see any radical departure from the carefully developed and followed plan of growth control, land acquisition and land management regulations that have served us well all these years. I do believe that relying on residents to develop ideas for Council will be a healthy exercise. Council acts best when it listens to residents. Your ideas are encouraged as our vision is developed.
Policy Agenda for 2010
Targets for Action
Top Priority
* Economic Development Policy, Strategy and Direction
* Town Vision: Develop Through Task Force
