The Vision of the Program is to improve the quality of life for those that live, work, and visit Tybee Island and enhance the cultural experience while preserving the community's barrier island heritage.
The Tybee Island Historic Preservation Commission works closely with the City’s Planning and Zoning Department and the Main Street Program to ensure the Island’s historic fabric is maintained, appropriately improved and to increase awareness of incentives for measures taken for preservation.
The purpose of the Planning Commission is promoting the health, safety, morals, convenience, order, prosperity and general welfare, and to provide for the orderly development of the City of Tybee Island.
