Tisbury Master Plan Commercial District Presentations & Community Survey

The second public workshop for the Tisbury Commercial District Visioning process will present design alternatives for the future of the waterfront, downtown, and B2 State Road commercial districts. Plans and diagrams will illustrate different possibilities for the physical design of each area. The alternatives will explore issues like: transportation, land use, housing, economic development, land use, and climate resilience.

The meeting will provide ample time for community members to provide input about the alternatives with the goal of identifying which alternatives the consulting team should refine further for each location. The design ideas presented in this workshop will build on public input gathered during a series of community workshops held in Tisbury on October 21-22, 2022.

These meetings cover the same content. Please feel free to join one or both gatherings, both of which are virtual (on Zoom).

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.
