Letter from the Mayor

Dear Greater Blu ton Chamber member,

On behalf of Town Council and sta , we appreciate you choosing Blu ton as your location to grow your business. Your business contributes to Blu ton’s robust and diverse business o erings.

Years ago, the Town chose “Heart of the Lowcountry,” as Blu ton’s slogan. This reflects the fact that Blu ton is in the center of Beaufort County and the Lowcountry region. It also underscores the fact Blu ton is strategically located on the East Coast, near the interstate, airports, train stations and ports.
