Resident urges county support for Santa Helena Youth and Community Center during executive committee meeting
Summary
Gary Major, a resident of Santa Helena Island, used the committee’s public comment time to request county support for a proposed Santa Helena Youth and Community Center and described community determination to build youth space.
Gary Major, identifying himself during the meeting’s public comment period, told the Beaufort County Council executive committee he wants county support for a Santa Helena Youth and Community Center on San Helena Island.
"The difference between the impossible and the possible lies in a person's determination," Major said, referencing a sign he saw at the meeting location and adding that his community is "determined" to get a youth and community center so young people will have a place to go.
The committee allowed the three-minute public comment and did not take formal action on the request during the executive committee meeting. Staff and committee members acknowledged the comment; the committee did not specify follow-up steps in the transcript. The speaker was invited to present the same comments at the full council meeting later in the evening.
