Community Input Sessions for Tisbury Master Plan

In-person on Wednesday August 10th

1-2 pm at the EMS Building at 215 Spring Street
6-7 pm at the Vineyard Haven Public Library*

If you live, work, play or otherwise have a stake in Tisbury, you are invited to participate in two community input sessions on Wednesday August 10th to share your thoughts with members of the Master Plan Steering Committee. We will be soliciting input on the town’s strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and challenges, and talking through them with both the team and other community members - seasonal and year round residents, alike.

These sessions will be key to giving seasonal residents the opportunity to meet with members of the Master Plan Steering Committee, along with the consultant team (Barrett Planning Group) in person. There will be ongoing engagement opportunities beyond the 10th, both in person and virtual format. These sessions will be catered toward Tisbury residents, but not exclusive to them.

Planning Boards are authorized to develop a Comprehensive Municipal Master Plan by Massachusetts General Laws, Chapter 41, 81D which requires sections on Natural & Cultural Resources, Economic Development, Housing, Land Use, Open Space & Recreation, Facilities & Services, Circulation & Transportation, plus an implementation section, describing how and when goals are to be achieved. Tisbury's plan will also address climate change, governance structure, housing production, and area plans for the B-I and B-II Business Districts and the Waterfront Commercial District.

For more information, contact Tisbury Master Plan Administrator Dan Doyle at 917-599-7502 or email doyle@mvcommission.org.

* The session at the library from 6-7 pm will be held outdoors in the courtyard weather permitting, or indoors on the main floor in case of rain. Please note that the library will be closed for other uses that evening.
