On September 12, 2023, after ZERO conversations with Saltwater/Gullah Geechee residents, ZERO public meetings in Hog Hammock, and THOUSANDS of emails and public comments in opposition, the McIntosh County Commissioners voted to change the zoning in Hog Hammock.

These changes, passed by the McIntosh County Commission, will speed up the gentrification of Hog Hammock and cause the erasure of Saltwater/Gullah Geechee people of Sapelo Island.
