HILTON HEAD ISLAND, S.C. — Most free parking during the summer on South Carolina’s largest resort island is likely going away.
The Hilton Head Island Town Council is discussing a plan to charge an hourly fee to park in what have been free spaces from May until September.
Several council members indicated their support of the plan, but a final vote has not been taken.
Local news outlets say a report presented last week to Town Council said the island could likely collect between $1 million to $3 million in fees and fines from charging for parking.
The proposal suggested setting a flat parking fee and pass for people who live on the island.
