This is the main question the task force must address:

  • What action(s) should it recommend that County Commissioners take in regards to Company XYZ's application for developing a residential/resort project on the Sea Island in question?

These "supporting questions" will help as you conduct research, deliberate, and make your recommendation(s).

  • What is in the best interests of the community as a whole in regards to the project?
  • How does America's and South Carolina's past impact the present? What can be learned from the past that will help commissioners decide what to do about the present situation?
  • Is there a way to evaluate the short and long-term benefits to South Carolina of building the new resort or maintaining and protecting the historic places and Gullah culture that now exist on the island?
  • Is there a way to reach consensus or compromise, so that all sides are reasonably satisfied? Can the government protect and honor the past while supporting new development?
