In what has become an oft-repeated scene, opponents and proponents of a proposed golf resort on the St. Helena Island property commonly referred to as Pine Island once again slugged it out Monday, Nov. 9, in a marathon session in front of Beaufort County Council.

At issue was a request to change the zoning on the property, removing the 502-acre property from the boundaries of the St. Helena Cultural Protection Overlay. The overlay prohibits the development of golf courses, resorts and gated communities within its boundaries.
