HILTON HEAD ISLAND, S.C. — Hilton Head Island Town Council has appointed five people to a newly formed panel, the Bryant Road public-private housing advisory group. Its job is to help steer workforce homes on a 7.19-acre parcel off Spanish Wells Road. The first meeting was set for 1 p.m. Monday, Nov. 9, at Town Hall.

The parcel is in the Muddy Creek neighborhood. Council set up the panel by resolution on July 14, 2026. Members will team with Town Manager Marc Orlando, staff and private development partners on the design of the effort.

Two seats went to Alex Brown and Steve DeSimone, both council members. The other three went to residents with housing, development and real estate experience: Barbara Banaszynski, John Campbell and Cliff McMackin.

The town’s workforce housing manager, Michelle Mealer, is the staff contact for the committee.
