Petition is addressed to: Holden Beach Board of Commissioners
If you want the Holden Beach Board of Commissioners to evaluate ALL viable options to SAVE THE PIER and are against the demolition of this historic landmark, please sign this petition. We will share our results at the Feb. 29th special meeting.
Reason
The Holden Beach Fishing Pier is a historic landmark and should be preserved, restored, and reopened. The recreational and economic impact this facility has on our local area has been proven by research studies and public input. Since the current town board of commissioners have suggested that demolishing this structure is an option, we need to work together to come up with a plan to SAVE IT!

Petition was submitted
on 27 Oct 2024Our pier petition results and grassroots polling have indicated an overwhelming pro-pier support. However, it's still our opinion that some of the town commissioners are opposed to having the pier and/or pier building repaired and reopened. Based on an outline provided by the town attorney at the last board of commissioners meeting (10/15/24), there are questions related to the legal requirements of the town in relation to the PARTF grant agreement. If their intentions are to remove the pier and/or pier building, return the grant, or sell the property - then we should all have some grave concerns. You can listen to this meeting on the town's YouTube page, which is www.youtube.com/user/townofholdenbeach.

We will present the petition results at tomorrow's pier input session at 5 pm.

We appreciate your support. Together, we will work to preserve the heritage and landmarks of Holden Beach!

New solution introduced for Holden Beach Pier repairs
on 29 Jan 2024
Debate
The Holden Beach Fishing Pier carries with it the rich heritage of the Community. Don't destroy the Pier. Either repair the existing wooden pier or build a new one that represents the area and the history of Holden Beach. I don't care if it is wood, concrete or a combination. But don't let them tear anything down without replacing it. Our roots are in fishing and we need to lose our foundation as a community..
I believe that Holden Beach should replace the pier with a new concrete structure stretching out into deep water again.The old pier is historical and people like history, but it is long beyond it's useful age.Build a tackle shop or restaurant at it's land base with a historical room to display the pier's rich history.People will love it!
