October 3, 2024
Marc Orlando, Town of Hilton Head Island Town Manager, was our GIC featured speaker on October 3, 2024. After a very brief overview of the island’s history and the Town’s organization chart, he talked about where he has invested in staffing and resources in the last 3 years to support the Town’s Strategic Plan. Notable successes include the expansion of Fire & Rescue services resulting in a cardiac arrest survival rate 5 times higher than the national average. He increased Short-Term Rental Code enforcement. Gained approval of the plans for the first Workforce Housing development, funding of the Gullah-Geechee Land & Cultural Preservation Task Force, and the Office of Cultural Affairs.
His presentation included fascinating demographic data and a list of the Town Council’s Strategies for 2023-2025.
