Former Hilton Head Town Councilman Steve DeSimone
Announces New Candidacy for HHI Representing Ward 3
Hilton Head Island, SC – July 11, 2024 – Steve DeSimone, a seasoned professional with deep ties to the Hilton Head Island community, is excited to announce his new candidacy for the Hilton Head Island Town Council representing Ward 3.
A man of energy and experience, DeSimone is uniquely qualified to serve on Town Council.
DeSimone previously served on the island’s town council from 1996 to 2002 representing Ward 4. During that time he helped spearhead significant advancements in conjunction with Mayor Tom Peeples. He led efforts to secure paved roads throughout both north and south Forest Beach, as well as major drainage projects across the island plus, the town’s beach re-nourishment program.
DeSimone also actively pursued the completion of the Cross Island Parkway and several land acquisition programs. These improvements reflect his commitment to the overall quality of life for residents by balancing the island’s economic growth with environmental protection.
Focused on Resident Needs
“I am committed to working tirelessly for the betterment of our island,” said DeSimone. “I’m focused on long-term resident needs and establishing a community that will be resilient for future generations.”
Ward 3 was re-shaped by re-districting this past year and now includes North and South Forest Beach, the gated communities of Shipyard, Wexford, Long Cove, and Spanish Wells as well as other nearby neighborhoods including Yacht Cove.
A graduate of the University of Kentucky with a BS degree in civil engineering, DeSimone relocated to Hilton Head Island in 1986 to accept an assistant engineering position with the then-newly organized town government. Today, he owns a multi-faceted construction company that specializes in land and marine projects, plus a firm that builds and internationally markets the "Elongator Tailgate," a unique device he invented for easily loading small trucks.
DeSimone and his wife Tracy have raised three daughters on Hilton Head Island. He currently serves on the Town’s Board of Zoning Appeals. He is an active member of Holy Family Catholic Church and for 10 years volunteered as volleyball coach at Hilton Head Christian Academy.
“If elected I am fully committed to working closely with the council and the town manager to diligently protect our renowned natural environment while continuing to foster a balanced, sustainable economy that prioritizes the needs of local residents,” said DeSimone.
