Your Voice Matters: Help Shape the Future of the Sea Island Parkway Property
The future of one of St. Helena Island's most significant community properties is being shaped by the people who know and love this place best—you.
As part of the ongoing St. Helena Economic Feasibility Study, community members are invited to complete the Community Vision & Priorities Survey, an opportunity to help guide recommendations for the future use of the property located at the intersection of Sea Island Parkway and Polowana Road.
What Will the Survey Ask?
Participants will be asked to identify the community priorities they believe are most important for the study to consider. Topics include:
Workforce development and trade classes
Youth tutoring and educational opportunities
Cultural promotion and preservation
Medical services
Sports, recreation, and green space
Support for entrepreneurs and local businesses
Intergenerational gathering spaces
Entertainment and community amenities
The survey also asks participants to identify the most pressing challenges that should be addressed, such as:
Maintaining the character and values of St. Helena Island
Preventing overly commercial or corporate development
Affordability
Traffic and environmental impacts
Employment opportunities
Long-term sustainability
Impacts on neighboring properties
Participants are encouraged to select the issues they believe are most important and explain why those priorities matter.
Why Your Participation Is Important
Every response helps the project team better understand what matters most to the broader community. Survey results will be reviewed alongside feedback gathered during community meetings to identify areas of consensus, recognize concerns, and inform recommendations for the property's future.
To ensure every community member has an equal voice, organizers ask that each person complete the survey only once.

Whether you attended the community meeting or are joining the conversation for the first time, your input is valuable.
