Former Hilton Head Town Councilman Steve DeSimone Announces New Candidacy for HHI Representing Ward 3

In Hilton Head Island, SC, seasoned professional and former town councilman Steve DeSimone has made an announcement of his decision to run for office again on the Hilton Head Island Town Council, this time representing Ward 3. The news comes as a significant development in local politics, with DeSimone bringing in his profound experience and passionate energy to his prospective role.

DeSimone’s Background in Public Service and Private Sector

DeSimone is not a stranger to serving the community in Hilton Head Island. His previous tenure on the island’s town council from 1996 to 2002 representing Ward 4 made a mark in the island’s development. Leveraging his collaborative ventures with then Mayor Tom Peeples, DeSimone was instrumental in securing infrastructure improvements like paved roads throughout both north and south Forest Beach, executing major drainage projects across the island, and initiating a re-nourishment program for the town’s beachfront. Beyond these accomplishments, he played a key role in pushing for the completion of the Cross Island Parkway and various land acquisition programs, demonstrating his unwavering commitment to the island’s economic growth and environmental preservation.

New Campaign and Vision for the Island

DeSimone emphasizes his dedication towards the long-run welfare of the island, ensuring a resilient and sustainable community for future generations. “I am committed to working tirelessly for the betterment of our island,” said DeSimone. Combining his public service experience with his professional background of owning a construction company that specializes in land and marine projects and a distinct device manufacturing firm, DeSimone further hardens his commitment to a balanced economy and a protected environment.

Focused Priorities

If elected, DeSimone plans to focus on several critical areas for the future of Hilton Head Island. These include promoting community resilience through sustainable redevelopment of blighted regions with an environmental focus, ensuring the protection and cleanliness of the island’s beaches, infrastructure improvement for commercial regions and roads to facilitate both residents and visitors, and fostering a balanced economic environment for businesses, always maintaining transparency and accountability in governance.

Conclusion

Ward 3, recently reshaped by re-districting this previous year, now includes North and South Forest Beach, the gated communities of Shipyard, Wexford, Long Cove, and Spanish Wells, as well as other neighboring localities such as Yacht Cove. As such, DeSimone’s proposed solutions to the unique needs of these numerous communities will be closely watched by the local populace as his campaign progresses.

With a proven history in public service and a strong vision for the future of Hilton Head Island, Steve DeSimone’s announcement of his latest candidacy certainly brings a heightened level of anticipation for the upcoming local elections.
