Here’s what you say … “I believe the greatest strength is our
diverse population and the number of skilled and educated retirees who live on the islands.”
“The Port, we are the closest port to the ocean on the east coast. Any other port on the coast has 10 miles of rivers to navigate while ours is about 2-3 miles from open water.”
Here’s what you say … “It is a close knit community that works
together to support positive initiatives.”
“The fact that people are moving here as permanent residents, whether with their jobs, as retirees or a good place to raise a family.”
“We have the friendliest folks!”
Thank you!
