Tradition Hilton Head hosts U.S. Rep. Joe Wilson for Jasper marine terminal status update

Tradition Hilton Head, Hardeeeville, S.C. – Tradition Hilton Head played host to U.S. Rep. Joe Wilson and his Washington and South Carolina staff for a meeting on the status of South Carolina’s and Georgia’s joint deepwater maritime terminal on the Savannah River south of Hardeeville on Aug. 21.
About 50 people attended the meeting in a Cornerstone Homes house at Tradition Hilton Head. Members of the Savannah River Maritime Commission, including Martin Sauls IV of Tradition Hilton Head, and the Jasper Ocean Terminal Joint Project Office, including Bill Bethea, a Beaufort County attorney and former member of the S.C. State Ports Authority’s board of directors, led the marine terminal update meeting.
Savannah River Maritime Commission members were appointed by Gov. Mark Sanford to represent South Carolina’s interests in navigability, depth, dredging, wastewater and sludge disposal, and related issues in regard to the use of the Savannah River as a waterway for ocean-going cargo vessels.
The Jasper Ocean Terminal Joint Project Office was formed by South Carolina and Georgia to move the project forward, including overseeing feasibility studies, business planning, environmental assessments and the release of federal easements on the property.

Florida Resident Wins HGTV Green Home in Tradition Hilton Head

Florida Resident Wins First HGTV Green Home Giveaway 2008(SM)

BRADENTON, Fla., June 8, 2008 /PRNewswire

"Forever, it will change my life forever ... in a good way," said a jubilant Marsha Coulthard when learned she was the winner of the first ever HGTV Green Home located in the new development of Tradition Hilton Head, South Carolina.

Coulthard, a 43-year old medical billing clerk and green enthusiast from Bradenton, Florida, was at home with her son and parents when HGTV's Chi-Lan Lieu knocked on the door to let her know that she won the HGTV Green Home grand-prize package valued at approximately $850,000. Her excitement at receiving the news was televised on the HGTV Green Home Giveaway 2008 special on Sunday, June 8.

"I'm so excited. I can't tell you," said Coulthard. "I entered almost every day trying to win the home."

Coulthard, an avid HGTV viewer whose name was drawn from more than 21 million entries, previously lived in nearby Bluffton, S.C., and is excited for a chance to return to the area. Her excitement about the home is not only the location, but also the fact that it is green as she makes an effort to recycle, reduce and reuse. Her grand-prize package includes the new, eco-friendly and fully furnished low-country style cottage with just over 2,000 square feet along with a 2008 GMC Yukon Hybrid.

"We were thrilled with the response to the first annual HGTV Green Home," said Jim Samples, president of HGTV. "The number of entries far exceeded our expectations and demonstrated that our viewers have an interest in pursuing a greener lifestyle. It is incredibly gratifying to HGTV to see that consumers turn to both the network and to HGTV.com as resources for accessible and eco-friendly approaches to living."

Located in the City of Hardeeville's Tradition Hilton Head, a 5,300-acre master-planned community near the popular beach resort of Hilton Head, the HGTV Green Home includes three bedrooms and two and a half baths and features both construction and design elements that are known to contribute to an energy efficient, cleaner and even healthier living environment.

"Tradition Hilton Head was the perfect community for our first-ever HGTV Green Home," said Samples. We wanted to select a community that demonstrated that you can live responsibly in a desirable location with modern amenities and the response to the giveaway indicated that we were successful."
