A
Good
morning,
everyone
hope
your
day
is
off
to
a
good
start,
and
thank
you
for
tuning
in
with
us
this
morning.
You
know
there
are
a
lot
of
people
that
are
excited
about
school
being
out
for
the
summer
and
certainly
want
to
congratulate
all
of
those
recent
graduates
and
they're
off
to
a
great
start
and
many
exciting
things
in
their
lives.
Also
I
want
to
say
congratulations
to
our
Hilton
Head
Island
Bluffton
leadership
class,
who
will
be
holding
their
graduation
ceremony
tonight.
A
Their
experiences
in
the
junior
leadership
program
and
both
are
are
stellar
and
did
a
terrific
job
speaking
to
council
last
night.
You
know,
although
the
schools
are
out
for
the
summer
planning
for
the
future,
it
continues
when
you
look
at
it.
The
last
U.S
census
showed
that
Bluffton
has
grown
over
150
percent
from
2010
through
2021.
A
with
that
comes
the
need
for
additional
schools
and
there's
a
proposed
new
school
campus
plan
for
Bluffton
and
here
to
tell
us
all
about
that,
as
well
as
how
the
school
year
went.
Is
our
superintendent
of
schools,
Dr,
Frank,
Rodriguez,
Dr
Rodriguez,
welcome
and
thank
you
for
joining
us
this
morning.
A
All
right
with
that
we're
going
to
rotate
our
speakers
the
way
it
was
supposed
to
go
today
and
we'll
rotate
next
and
then
we'll
come
back
to
Dr
Rodriguez
how
about
that
for
pivoting?
Well,
let's
look
at
it
this
way.
Our
most
recent
membership
survey,
as
well
as
our
annual
resident
survey,
continue
to
show
that
Workforce
housing
Remains
the
top
concern
in
our
community.
A
The
workforce
challenge
whether
it's
hiring
housing
or
transportation,
is
something
being
faced
by
communities
across
the
country.
It
must
be
approached
with
a
regional
perspective,
which
is
why
eight
different
areas
have
come
together
to
form
the
regional
tourism,
Housing,
Trust,
Fund,
Regional,
Housing,
Trust,
Fund
and
here
to
give
us
an
overview
of
that
is
the
leader
of
the
group
is
Brad
mole,
Brad's
the
program
director
for
the
regional
group
and
he's
leading
the
charge
and
finding
creative
ways
to
tackle
the
issues
in
our
region.
A
B
Yeah,
thank
you
Bill.
Thank
you
for
you
all
giving
me
just
this
time
to
be
able
to
update
you
all
on
the
work
that
you
that
you
mentioned
that
we
are
doing
here
in
the
Beaufort
Jasper
area
concerning
the
newly
formed
Housing
Trust,
and
we
just
to
kind
of
give
you
some
quick
highlights
of
what
we're
doing
on
the
ground.
B
So
this
year
is
about
the
formation
of
the
Beaufort
Jasper
Housing
Trust,
along
with
pipeline
development,
finalizing
structures
of
of
of
of
the
Committees.
We
now
have
five
committees
that
are
working
on
carrying
out
the
activities
of
the
Housing
Trust
that
those
committees
are
consisted
of
board
members.
Community
Works,
which
Community
works,
is
the
administrator
of
the
Housing
Trust
Fund.
So
it
could
so.
Those
committees
are
consisted
of
the
board
members,
Community
work
staff
and
some
and
a
few
Community
Partners.
B
Some
of
our
other
Focus
for
this
year
is
also
launching
our
letter
of
interest
that
recently
closed
on
May
the
15th.
Our
goal
was
to
again
kind
of
capture
connect
with
those
developers,
affordable,
housing
developers
that
we
can
possibly
partner
with
and
then
I
also.
We
wanted
to
focus
on
this
first
year
and
internal
staff
and
board
development.
B
B
The
the
trust
the
board
I
agreed
on
a
logo
which
consisted
of
the
woven
basket,
which
represents
the
the
South's
Sweetgrass
basket,
weaving
culture.
The
Housing
Trust
Fund
board
had
a
planning
date
on
last
month
on
May
the
12th,
and
so
that
was
something
that
was
needed
again
for
the
board
to
be
able
to
focus
a
full
day
on
future
activities
of
the
fun.
From
that
planning
day,
we
created
a
six-month
action
plan.
B
B
B
Also.
Lastly,
but
not
least
again
on
the
state
level
front,
I'm
there
spending
a
three
million
dollar
on
one-time
request,
budget
requests
for
the
Beaufort
Jasper
Housing
Trust.
So
again,
we're
excited
about
that
as
well
and
after
speaking
with
Senator
Davis
office,
we
contact
them
again.
They
ask
that
we
contact
them
again
in
September
to
see
where,
where
that
request
is
at
that
time.
But
again
we
we.
B
So
we
we
have
a
lot
of
activities
going
on
I,
actually
just
jumped
off
of
another
Zoom
calling
and
I
was
excited
about
joining
you
all,
but
are
gonna
actually
go
back
on
that
Zoom
call
because
we
do
have
our
project
evaluation
committee,
which
is
one
of
our
committees,
they're,
actually
discussing
those
those
seven
projects
that
I
mentioned
earlier.
So
so
we
usually,
you
should
see
a
lot
more
from
us
and
hear
more
a
lot
about
us
in
in
the
near
future.
B
A
B
B
B
B
The
possible
budget
request
that
we
mentioned
three
million
dollar
budget
requests
that
we
mentioned
earlier
and
again
to
work
on
as
money
go
out
and
come
in
with
the
as
we
fund
developers
so
yeah,
so
that
we
have
that
finance
committee.
We
have
the
project
evaluation
committee,
which
again
we
have
some
very
experienced
board
members.
That's
on
that
committee.
B
A
few
have
experienced
with
Live
tech
projects
as
well
as
other,
affordable
housing
projects,
and
so
that
committee
is
the
one
that's
meeting
now
to
discuss
some
of
the
projects
that
have
come
forth
over
the
last
month.
We
have
our
Communications
committee
again,
as
I
mentioned
our
web
page,
that
we
have
set
aside
for
the
Housing
Trust
Fund,
that's
part
of
our
communication.
But
again
we
want
to
make
sure
as
much
as
possible
that
people
understand
what
the
Housing
Trust
Fund
can
and
cannot
do.
B
What
and
and
how
we
can
assist,
and
so
again
our
communication
committee
focuses
on
that.
Our
governance
committee
again
focuses
on
how
our
meetings
are
ran.
Bylaws.
We
did
create
bylaws,
of
course,
since
since
January
and
then
the
last
one
is
our
development
committee
to
again
kind
of
go
not
only
locally
but
also
outside
of
our
region,
to
see
exactly
what
funds
are
available
to
continue.
The
works
of
the
Housing
Trust
Fund.
A
B
A
B
B
A
We're
at
our
vice
president
of
public
policy
and
small
business
Tom
hands,
he's
enjoying
working
with
you
and
looks
forward
to
partnering
and
working
side
by
side
in
the
future.
With
you,
we
appreciate
what
you're,
what
you're
doing
we
know
you
need
to
run,
but
thank
you
for
being
with
us
to
today
and
we'll
hopefully
be
back
and
see
you
again
soon.
Thank
you
all
right.
Thank
you
again.
We're
going
to
move
on
to
our
next
speaker
and
Dr.
Frank
Rodriguez
is
with
us
he's
there.
He
is
Dr
Rodriguez
good
morning.
C
A
C
Good
I
appreciate
it:
I'll
start
with
how
the
school
year
is
gone
and
the
students
we
serve
and
I'll
come
back
and
end
on
the
proposed
referendum
or
potential
referendum
in
November.
So
with
that
in
mind,
our
Beaufort
County
School
District
serves
21
500
students
across
Beaufort
County
and
we
serve
approximately
54
students
of
poverty,
and
we
have
about
20
percent
students
that
are
multilingual
Learners.
C
That
means
that
the
recently
arrived
into
the
country
within
one
two,
maybe
three
years
into
the
country
and
so
they're
still
in
that
language
acquisition
portion
of
of
their
development,
and
so
that
comes
with
unique
challenges
in
terms
of
Education
as
well.
So
we
are
excited
about
the
students.
We
serve.
We're
proud
of
the
programs
that
we
offer
here
in
the
Beaufort
County
School
District.
C
We
have
students
that
graduate
from
our
school
system
and
are
headed
off
to
Ivy
League
schools,
they're
headed
off
to
schools
across
the
state
of
South,
Carolina
and
and
other
places
across
the
country,
and
some
stay
right
here
locally
at
TCL
or
at
uscb
in
in
pursuing
their
their
education.
Some
of
them
go
right
into
career
and
they
focused
on
Career
and
Technical
ad,
which
I
will
talk
a
little
bit
about
that
in
in
a
second.
C
So
we're
excited
that
we
have
programs
that
support
the
needs
of
all
of
the
twenty
one
thousand
500
students
that
we
serve
anywhere
from
language
acquisition,
programs
and
special
ed
programming.
All
the
way
through
to
the
highest
Advanced
coursework,
that's
possible
for
students
earning
college
credits
while
they're
in
high
school,
as
well
as
a
Career
and
Technical
education
programming
for
our
students
that
that
are
looking
to
head
in
that
direction.
After
High
School,
and
so
our
our
Career
and
Technical
Ed
programs.
C
It
is
such
a
great
experience
for
for
all
of
our
kids
that
take
part
in
whether
they
want
to
take
one
course,
or
they
want
to
go
all
the
way
through
and
end
up
with
an
industry
certification
that
they
can
carry
out
into
the
workforce
when
they
leave
us,
and
so
those
are
in
areas
such
as
welding,
auto
mechanics,
EMS,
training,
fire
department.
We
have
boat
marine
mechanic,
training
means
we
have
Project
Lead
the
Way
for
students
that
are
interested
in
pursuing
an
engineering
type
of
coursework.
C
We
even
have
a
12
million
dollar
grant
that
we
went
after
that,
provides
some
of
our
students
in
a
cluster
site,
biomedical
academic
programming,
so
that
they're
interested
in
the
medical
field.
We
partner
with
Beaufort
Memorial
Hospital
for
that
and
we're
looking
at
duplicating
that
right
here
in
Hilton
Head
with
the
hospital
we're
we're
trying
to
connect
with
them
and
move
in
that
direction
to
see,
engage
the
interest
there
and
then,
in
addition,
there's
a
cyber
security
component
that
comes
through
our
Career
and
Technical
Ed.
C
C
So
they
can
not
only
gain
their
experience
in
the
cyber
security
world
and
train
in
it.
But
they
get
to
put
their
skill
sets
to
practice
in
in
the
competition
of
around
cyber
security.
And
so
we're
really
excited
about
the
way.
Our
Career
and
Technical
web
programming
is
developing.
We're
excited
about
our
high-end
level,
academic
programs
and,
as
everybody
knows,
the
pandemic
had
a
significant
effect
on
students
and,
and
certainly
we
are
in
academic
recovery
for
many
students
and,
as
you
know,
that
is
a
multi-year
process
in
the
academic
recovery.
C
But
I
am
very,
very
proud
to
tell
you
that
here
in
Beaufort
County,
we
we
navigate
did
this
pandemic
and
the
academic
component
of
it
pretty
well,
for
kids
sure
we
saw
an
impact
and
we
still
see
it
and
we
still
have
a
multi-year
growth
process.
But
let
me
tell
you
in
literacy,
where
many
states
across
the
country
and
and
places
around
the
world
saw
a
significant
impact
in
literacy
in
Beaufort
County.
C
We
met
navigated
that
well,
we
have
not
only
exceeded
our
pre-pandemic
scores
and
literacy,
but
we
have
achieved
the
highest
scores
in
literacy
that
that
the
school
district
has
ever
gotten
in
the
state
assessment,
since
its
Inception
I
believe
in
2016..
So
our
our
in
our
literacy
area,
we
have.
We
have
managed
to
fare
that
pretty
well,
even
where
other
states
and
communities
saw
significant
impact
there.
When.
C
To
mathematics
we
also
saw
a
significant
impact
in
mathematics.
This,
the
U.S
Secretary
of
Education,
said
that
the
impact
in
math
across
the
country
is
decade
AIDS
worth
while
hours
is
not
decades
worth,
we
did
see
an
impact,
and
that's
probably
where
we
saw
the
greatest
impact
is
in
them
is
in
the
math
area,
and
so
we
have
Focus
there.
C
We
have
focused
this
upcoming
Year's
budget,
I
I'm,
hiring
a
math
coordinator
position
at
the
district
level
to
coordinate
and
support
the
work
of
Educators
in
the
classroom
around
mathematics
and-
and
that
is
a
significant
piece.
It's
going
to
focus
on
the
Elementary
grades,
because,
as
you
know,
math
is
one
of
those
subject.
Areas
that
builds
upon
itself
and
so
establishing
the
strongest
Foundation
possible
at
the
youngest
grades
is
so
important
for
us
in
order
to
help
our
students
reach
their
Highest
Potential,
and
so
that's
where
we're
targeting
that
work.
C
So
those
those
challenges
all
come
together,
and
so
one
of
the
highest
and
most
important
things
you
can
do
is
to
impact
the
compensation
piece
and
so
last
year,
when
we
started
the
school
year
last
year
we
started
our
beginning.
Teacher
pay
was
at
37
000
and
put
that
in
context
when
I
started
teaching
in
1993
my
first
year
teacher
salary
was
thirty
thousand
and
so
over
a
29-year
period,
which
is
a
career,
the
difference
there
is
seven
thousand
dollars.
C
We
took
a
closer
look
at
ourselves
here
in
Beaufort
County,
and
we
identified
that
we
ranked
53rd
in
the
state
of
South
Carolina
in
terms
of
teacher
compensation,
and
so
we
focused
our
budget
on
that.
Last
year
we
looked
internally
and
we
looked
at
programs
that
maybe
didn't
aren't
showing
a
high
return
on
investment
and
and
we
eliminated
those
types
of
programs,
and
we
found
half
the
dollars
for
that.
C
It's
been,
it's
been
a
great
school
year,
I
think
our
students
are
making
great
progress,
and
here
we
are
at
the
tail
end
of
it
and
graduations
are
underway.
What
a
great
time
to
celebrate
I
mean
we've
had
three
of
them
so
far,
they've
been
absolutely
beautiful
and
it's
just
wonderful
to
see
really
students
achieving
the
crown
jewel
of
public
education
and
that
is
walking
across
that
stage
and
getting
their
graduation,
their
High
School
graduation
diploma,
and
so
we've
got
three
more
to
go.
C
This
proposal
will
go
to
our
school
board
on
June
13th
and
at
that
meeting,
I'm,
hoping
that
our
our
school
board
will
vote
to
move
it
forward,
which
is
going
to
be
an
important
piece
for
us.
As
you
know,
in
in
2019,
we
passed
the
first
referendum
in
over
11
years
to
support
the
maintenance
project
and
and
and
capital
projects
that
we
need
in
the
in
the
school
district.
Most
successful
school
districts
are
passing
Bond
referendums
approximately
every
four
years.
C
So
when
you
don't
pass
one
in
over
11
years,
it
has
its
impact
on
on
your
Capital
and
maintenance
components
of
the
school
district,
and
so
we
got
the
work
right
away.
Thank
you
so
much
to
our
community
because
it
passed
with
an
overwhelming
70,
approximately
70
percent
approval
from
from
the
voters
in
the
community
here
in
Beaufort,
County
and
and
that's
so
important.
It's
in
a
really
great
message.
We
got
to
work
right
away.
C
One
of
the
first
things
I
did
was
to
set
up
a
citizen-led
oversight
committee
that
would
oversee
exactly
how
the
school
district
is
spending
the
dollars
and
managing
the
projects,
and
so
that
has
gone
very
well.
They
meet
monthly
and
Report
quarterly
to
the
community
through
school
board
meetings.
They
have
done
a
remarkable
job.
C
I'm
proud
of
that
I'm,
proud
of
our
team
and
the
work
that
that
they've
done
there.
So
we
put
together
a
community
project,
Review
Committee,
to
look
at
additional
needs
that
school
district
has.
You
know
in
the
last
one,
there
were
over
644
million
dollars
worth
of
needs
that
were
identified
and
in
those
644
million
dollars
worth
of
needs.
C
Over
in
ladies
Island,
there
was
a
middle
school
that
was
on
last
time,
but
got
removed
at
the
last
at
the
last
minute,
and
so
that,
ladies
Island,
it's
a
replacement
school
for
the
existing
school
there
and-
and
there
are,
you-
know
some
significant
needs
that
need
to
be
addressed
with
a
replacement
school
there.
You
mentioned
the
growth
in
Bluffton.
It
has
been
tremendous
growth.
Our
elementary
schools
are
essentially
really
at
capacity.
C
It
is
a
district
Charter
School,
but
it
is
part
of
the
school
district
and
then
Career
and
Technical
education.
Expansion
is
really
important
to
us.
Bluffton
High
School
is
going
to
see
some
Career
and
Technical
education,
expansion,
May
River
as
well.
You
can
tell
you
can
see
over
in
Beaufort
High
School,
for
example
that
needs
some
of
that
expansion.
So
those
are
three
areas
that
are
going
to
need.
Some
of
that
work.
C
Technology,
Warehouse
Imaging
Center,
is
part
of
this
for
the
school
district
in
order
to
manage
the
technology
needs
that
the
school
district
has
and
then,
of
course,
things
like
HVAC
Replacements
furniture
replacement.
We've
got
some
schools
that
have
furniture,
that's
approximately
40
years
old
and
it
they've
served
us
well,
but
their
time
has
come
and-
and
it's
really
important
to
build
furniture
and
spaces
within
the
learning
environment,
because
the
learning
environment
has
changed.
It's
no
longer
like
when
you
and
I
went
to
school
in
the
straight
rows
right.
C
That's
part
of
this
proposed
referendum,
and-
and
so
these
are
the
things
we
are
focusing
on
for
this
proposed
referendum
in
November-
I
think
it
will.
It
will
take
us
further
down
the
road
in
the
work
of
modernizing
and
enhancing
the
educational
experience
for
our
students
in
Beaufort
County,
so
that
our
Educators,
the
top
talent
we're
trying
to
bring
in
with
that
high
compensation,
is
able
to
do
to
teach
and
in
an
environment.
C
A
A
C
A
C
Yeah,
that's
a
great
question
because
you
see
for
us
we're
we're
an
anomaly
really
in
the
way
of
played
out
for
a
lot
of
school
districts
across
the
country.
I
really
think
that
one
of
the
things
we
did
here
early
on
is
is
at
least
during
my
tenure.
That's
what
I
can
speak
for,
but
I
I
think
what
we
did
early
on
here
is
try
to
focus
on
things
like
like
phonics
based
instruction,
so
that
so
that
you
know
in
literacy.
The
pendulum
swings
so
much.
C
C
That's
needed,
and
you
know
we're
going
to
hear
more
a
lot
more
about
that
phonics
based
piece
in
in
the
world
of
Education
in
the
upcoming
years.
When
you
hear
things
about
science
of
reading,
there's
a
lot
of
phonics
based
instruction
there,
but
I
think
finding
that
that
sweet
spot
in
the
middle
is
an
important
part
and
then
Educators
collaborating
on
the
instruction
is,
is
critical.
C
Not
in
this
referendum,
we
have
you
know
some
space
within
within
the
existing
two
high
schools
that
we
have
and
one
of
the
things
we
increase
capacity
in
those
high
schools,
for
example,
as
we
build
Career
and
Technical
education
building
for
May
River
and
a
Career
and
Technical
education
building
for
Bluffton
that
increases
capacity
space
within
those
schools.
We
may
eventually
if
the
growth
continues
need
to
look
at
that.
C
But
our
immediate
need
right
now
is
really
at
the
elementary
school,
and
so
that's
what
we're
seeking
to
address
through
this
referendum
down
the
road.
It
may
be
something
that
we
need
to
tackle,
but
but
at
the
moment
we
think
we
can
manage
some
of
this,
because
the
last
thing
we
want
to
do
is
over
build.
You
need
significant
acreage
when
you're,
when
you're,
building,
high
schools
and
and
and
then
you
don't
want
to
really
over
build
and
over
saturate
either.
A
C
We're
gonna
have
to
do
something
at
Hilton
Head
high
school,
but
you
know
it
is
impossible
for
us
to
build
a
new
High
School,
really
without
referendum
dollars.
So
so
the
difference
would
be
either
either
we
are
able
to
to
build
a
new
High
School
with
a
referendum
that
passes
or
we're
having
to
find
a
way
to
modernize
an
existing
building.
That
is
going
to
need
a
lot
of
work.
C
For
math
standards-
yes,
we
actually
are
looking
across
the
the
country
at
what
different
states
are
doing
with
respect
to
math.
But
at
the
end
of
the
day,
we
we
have
to
come
back
to
the
state
of
South
Carolina
Standards,
because
those
are
the
ones
that
our
students
are
held
accountable
for
on
on
state
assessments.
So
we
look
at.
C
C
The
reason
I
think
across
the
country
and
across
the
world
you
saw
such
significant
impact
in
mathematics
is
because
of
the
separation,
an
isolation
that
didn't
allow
for
the
collaboration,
the
the
the
the
the
manipulatives
that
are
used
in
classrooms
in
order
to
bring
Concepts
to
reality
for
kids
right
and
helping
them
see
those
those
Concepts
play
out.
So
those
are
the
challenges,
but
we
we
definitely
do
look
at
what
Innovation
what
instructional
strategies
are
in
play
in
other
parts
across
the
country
we
don't
mind,
borrowing
things
at
work.
C
Yes,
there
is,
there
is
additional
investment
in
school
safety.
We
place
the
heavy
investment
on
this
2019
referendum
on
school
safety,
but,
as
you
know,
as
we
all
know,
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
always
enhancing
and
and
moving
forward
and
increasing
in
every
aspect
of
our
school
safety.
So
there
will
be
for
sure
an
investment
in
school
safety.
C
A
Why
that
we've
partnered
with
mmgy
next
factor
and
one
of
the
leading
organizations
in
the
country
specializing
in
working
with
tourism
organization
and
they've,
been
Gathering
input
from
local
Business
Leaders,
our
elected
officials
residents
and
on
what
they
think.
Their
vision
is
for
the
future
of
our
region
and
I'm,
proud
to
introduce
to
you
today.
Paul
we
met
he's
the
president
of
mmgy
next
factor
and
the
managing
director
of
destination.
D
D
I
I
think
I've
been
working
on
tourism
industry
specifically
for
for
the
last
10
years,
and
what
we've
really
seen
is
we
had
eight
years
of
record
growth
after
2008
2009
and
then
obviously
the
wheels
fell
off
in
in
2021.
We
were
hit,
obviously,
with
the
pandemic
shutdown,
borders,
Group,
Travel
big
cities
especially
have
had
to
deal
with
social
political
unrest.
We've
had
a
lot
of
natural
disasters,
hurricanes,
floods,
fires
and
then
in
Europe.
D
D
Asia
has
has
been
a
little
bit
behind
of
the
rest
of
the
world,
but
we're
definitely
getting
back
close
to
where
we
were
at
at
20
2019
levels.
There's
there's
four
trends
that
I
I
wanted
to
touch
on.
That
I
think
are
especially
relevant
for
for
this
area
in
in
for
the
future.
Here
for
tourism,
the
the
first
one
is
great
pandemic,
but
even
more
sense
is
this
surge
in
interest
in
outdoor
recreation
experiences.
D
I
do
a
lot
of
work
with
Trip,
Advisor
and
what's
interesting
is
when
you
look
at
the
searches
on
TripAdvisor.
Outdoor
experiences
are
more
than
twice
as
large
as
any
of
their
other
attraction.
Experience
types
that
number
surged
in
21
and
it
it
it
normalized
a
bit
in
22,
but
it's
still
significantly
higher
than
it
was
pre
pre-covered.
That's
a
big
opportunity,
obviously,
for
this
region,
the
the
interest
in
renewed
interest
in
golf
tennis,
all
of
the
the
beach
activities.
D
The
second
area
is
is
with
respect
to
to
Group
Travel
and
meetings
there
they
have
come
back.
They've
come
back
very
strong.
There
was
a
lot
of
skepticism
uncertainty
around
around
meetings
and
conventions,
lots
of
talk
about
hybrid
meetings.
We
are
not
seeing
that
as
a
as
a
long-term
Trend.
Hybrid
meetings
have
have
largely
disappeared.
D
The
third
area
is
in
again
looking
at
different
types
of
attractions
and
how
they're
trending
Arts
cultural,
historic
attractions
interest
has
has,
has
picked
up
as
well,
so
again
for
a
lot
of
the
things
that
are
being
talked
about
here
in
part
of
the
the
master
plan.
Looking
at
those
specific
areas,
those
are
big
opportunities
to
to
capitalize
on
and
to
to
really
focus
on
and
and
then
the
the
fourth
one
which
is
is
really
I.
D
Think
also
very
critical
is
remote
working
and
remote
working
for
destinations
like
Hilton
Head,
Island
lots
of
people
now
having
Mondays
Fridays
working
from
home.
They
can.
They
have
a
lot
of
flexibility.
I
think
there's
tremendous
opportunity
to
increase
the
length
of
stay
people
coming
here
and
doing
mixed
sort
of
business
play
time
here.
So
those
are
all
significant
opportunities
that
are
going
to
I.
Think
create
you
know
the
the
potential
to
to
continue
to
grow.
D
Your
your
visitor
economy,
when
we
look
at
the
U.S
compared
to
other
parts
of
the
world,
the
U.S
did
not
fall
off
as
much
with
the
pandemic
as
other
parts
of
the
world.
That's
the
good
news.
The
bad
news
is,
it
hasn't
recovered
as
strongly
as
other
parts
of
the
world
and
I
I
think
you
know
there
there's
other
issues
that
we're
dealing
with
in
the
U.S
crime,
Public,
Safety
homelessness,
and
some
of
these
big
issues
are
depressing.
D
Some
of
the
travel,
so
one
of
the
things
I
keep
telling
destinations
here
is
we
shouldn't
be
complacent
about
the
success
we've
had
in
the
last
in
the
last
year,
as
as
our
hotels
and
and
activity
has
has
recovered
strongly.
We've
most
of
that
activity
has
been
domestic
Leisure
markets.
A
lot
of
that
Leisure
traffic
was
visiting
friends
and
relatives,
so
we're
going
to
have
to
do
a
lot
of
work
to
continue
to
stimulate
the
Leisure
Travelers
International.
D
You
know
growth
strategies
dealing
with
you
know
all
of
the
implications
of
additional
traffic
moving
forward,
so
I
think
there's
been
a
lot
of
progress
made
in
in
that
space.
I
think,
there's
there's
been
some
great
plans
that
have
been
done
by
the
town
by
by
the
chamber.
You
know
to
address
some
of
those
issues,
but
I
think
that
is
really
a
critical
component
for
for
this
region
moving
forward.
There
are
some
significant
infrastructure
issues
here
in
terms
of
Mobility
Access
Transportation
that
have
to
be
addressed.
D
D
D
So
it's
that's
a
work
in
progress.
This
is,
as
we
said,
every
destination.
This
is
really
a
marathon.
This
is
not
a
Sprint.
These
are
big
issues
that
you
know,
communities
are
are
trying
to
to
tackle,
but
you
know
I
I,
think
there's
there's
been
some
progress
made
in
in
some
of
those
areas,
but
a
lot
of
Works
needed
to
to
address
some
of
those
bigger
issues.
A
A
