About Keep Sapelo Geechee

After the McIntosh County Commission voted to change the historic zoning in Hog(g) Hummock, the Sapelo Island Cultural & Revitalization Society (SICARS), Hog Hammock Community Foundation, Save Our Legacy Ourself (SOLO), and One Hundred Miles joined together to launch a petition drive. We collected more than 2,300 signatures of McIntosh County registered voters who were in favor of repealing the new, harmful zoning. A judge scheduled a referendum for October 1, but unfortunately, another judge reversed his decision. We have appealed to the Georgia Supreme Court and expect they will hear the case soon.

After the gangway collapsed, we decided to use our coalition and join forces with the Allen Bailey Foundation to support the community in the wake of this tragic event.
