  <Name>Alan Perry for Mayor Platform</Name>
  <Description>Protecting what makes Hilton Head Island special while preparing for what comes next through collaborative, experienced leadership focused on the community, responsible decisions, and continued progress.</Description>
  <OtherInformation>The platform is presented in the context of Alan Perry&apos;s campaign for re-election as Mayor of Hilton Head Island. Because Perry is the incumbent, the campaign site combines prospective commitments with claimed accomplishments during his current term. This StratML rendition distinguishes intended results from reported accomplishments where practicable, preserving the latter in Other Information rather than treating past results as future objectives.
^^
Additional Issues &amp; Reported Progress ~ Perry identifies growth, traffic, housing, beaches, stormwater, public safety, development, infrastructure, environmental preservation, and maintenance of a healthy local economy as interconnected challenges facing Hilton Head Island. Not all of these subjects are presented as discrete prospective goals in the current campaign platform, and goals or objectives have therefore not been inferred solely from their identification as challenges. The campaign&apos;s Progress report states that work during Perry&apos;s current term included an adaptive traffic signal system, pedestrian and cyclist safety improvements, pathway repairs and additions, reduced speed limits in targeted areas, park improvements, and improvements to public spaces. These reported accomplishments provide context for the platform but are not represented as prospective objectives where the source does not state a corresponding future intended result.
^^
Inferred Values ~ The candidate's platform does not present a formally designated set of values. The Values represented in this plan — Listening, Research, Collaboration, Responsibility, Stewardship, and Persistence — have been inferred from statements in the platform describing Perry's approach to leadership, decision making, community engagement, and protection of Hilton Head Island. They are intended to make those principles explicit in StratML format without implying that Perry formally designated them as his values.

      <OtherInformation>Protection of the natural environment is identified as a continuing priority in Perry&apos;s current campaign. His 2022 platform specifically committed to seeking funding to alleviate flooding, taking a holistic view of stormwater management, identifying steps to mitigate flooding damage to homes and properties, and analyzing the Land Management Ordinance to address problems including clearcutting in the Mitchelville and Jonesville areas. As an incumbent seeking another term, Perry also reports results from his current term. The campaign states that the Town acquired more than 85 acres for preservation, parks, public uses, and strategic community needs; strengthened environmental protections including tree protections and open-space requirements; repaired and improved stormwater infrastructure; and moved forward with major beach renourishment, including a $47.8 million contract awarded in 2025 for five locations. These statements are reported campaign accomplishments rather than prospective objectives.</OtherInformation>

      <OtherInformation>Perry&apos;s current campaign identifies expanding housing solutions for people who serve the community as continuing work. Housing was also the first of his five stated priorities in 2022. At that time, he described a lack of housing for critical workers as a longstanding problem, specifically noting that most fire/rescue employees lived off Island and that housing for healthcare workers was lacking. He argued that housing warrants public investment and pointed to smart public/private partnerships used by comparable coastal communities. As an incumbent, Perry now reports that the Town created a dedicated housing fund, advanced the Northpoint public-private partnership, hired its first Chief Housing Officer, adopted housing-related policy changes, and moved Northpoint into its development phase. The campaign&apos;s My Vision page characterizes Northpoint at Jarvis Creek as under construction. These are reported accomplishments and implementation developments rather than new prospective objectives.</OtherInformation>
