Seabrook Island Town Hall will be closed on Thu. August 5th and Fri. August 6th after a member of town staff tested positive for COVID-19. 

The employee began displaying symptoms of the virus on Mon. August 2nd and subsequently received a positive test result on Wed. August 4th. The employee was fully vaccinated earlier this year. This is the second time Town Hall has been closed this year due to a positive test result, and the first known instance of "breakthrough" case among a vaccinated member of town staff.

Town staff will be working remotely during the closure. Individuals needing to conduct business with the town may contact us by phone at (843) 768-9121 or by email at [email protected]. A drop box will also be available outside town hall.
