"It's the biggest change ever in the film industry," said Pete in an interview with The Icon.

Bluffton council deferred its historic town hall mural project to the Bluffton sesquicentennial committee on Monday.

At the time that the town hall renovation project was completed Oscar Velasquez, Bluffton artist, approached the council with the suggestion that he create a historic mural to be placed inside the town hall. The mural would more than likely be placed in the lobby area of the third floor.

No action was taken at the time of the original discussion, however council indicated an interest in seeing that the project go forward.
