Letter: Don’t let them ruin Honey Horn

I read with great dismay that the Town of Hilton Head Island is considering using Honey Horn for an art venue.

This beautiful, 68-acre property is home to our wonderful Coastal Discovery Museum. The planned art venue would take up 40 acres, mostly for a parking lot. This would devastate Honey Horn as we all know and love it. I can’t believe our Town Council is even considering such a mistake. We must not let this happen.

Please join me in adding your voice to keeping Honey Horn as it is. Contact your Town Council members and our mayor and your County Council member and tell them to keep Honey Horn as is. Please keep their plans to destroy it from coming to pass.

As a side note, this land is already committed to use as a temporary disposal site in case of a major natural disaster. If we have a major hurricane, we will need this property to recover.

Tell your elected officials to keep their hands off of Honey Horn and to protect it for future generations.
