Speaker:
Dr Sheryse Grant DuBose, of the Historic Neighborhoods Permitting and Design Studio, was our speaker. 
She is a native islander and works in this department of the Town of Hilton Head. They help the property owners of the historic neighborhoods to do development plans.  There is a historic neighborhoods staff which provides the checks and balances.  This department gives the town the opportunity to develop relationships with the native islanders, gain their trust and improve communications.  The plans for the bridge improvement will affect the historic neighborhood of Stoney and they are looking at how to best preserve the cultural aspects of the neighborhood.  No private dollars go into this venture.  Dr. DuBose explained the complicated situation caused by Heirs Property.  The Town works with the Heritage Library to clear titles on heirs property.
