Beaufort County issued the following announcement on December 3.
Map Alternate 3A and 3B will be presented to the Beaufort County Executive Committee on Monday at 2 pm. The meeting will be open to the public and broadcast live on The County Channel.
“We have received nearly 100 comments and suggestions to improve the maps we released on November 24,” said Dan Morgan, Beaufort County Director of Mapping and Applications. “We did our best to preserve the one person, one vote yet improve the grouping of communities of interests.”
Beaufort County received the Census data from South Carolina on October 26 and then released the redistricting timeline on November 8. Since then, County staff has been working hard with the data, community leaders, and reviewing public comments to create the best and most equitable map for Beaufort County.
The County held three public hearings and has taken online comments from the redistricting webpage over the last ten days.
At Monday’s Executive Committee, a final map will be decided upon and forwarded to the full County Council for debate. Members of the community are welcome to attend the County Council meetings to provide further comments. To sign up for public comment, go to

December 13 - 6 pm - 1st Reading at County Council meeting
