Help Plan The Future of Martha's Vineyard

THE DRAFT PLAN IS COMING: The Steering Committee and staff are working hard on the draft plan, that is slated to be released later this year. 

SOCIAL ENVIRONMENT FORUM: The last Island Plan forum on a specific topic was held on April 30, 2009. The Proceedings will be posted when they are ready.

DEVELOPMENT & GROWTH SURVEY: Please give your opinion about the important choices that the Vineyard community has to make about how it manages future development on the Island, by taking the Development and Growth Survey. Click Here to take survey.

FORUMS: Ten forums were held over the last two summers. The proceedings and their appendicies (including discussion papers and presentations) are available here or in the Island Plan Source Book binders in your local library:

The Island Plan is charting a course to the kind of future that the Vineyard community wants and is outlining a series of actions to help us navigate that course.

The Martha's Vineyard Island Plan will have a vital impact on the future of the Island… on all of our lives and those of our children. So it’s important that every Vineyarder take part in its preparation. The Island Plan will set the stage for local decision-making concerning a whole range of issues such as water quality, housing, traffic and transportation, open space, growth, and economic opportunities.

On this website, you’ll find the following sections.

  • Planning Process: Information about the planning process and the various themes and topics that it will address.

  • Get Involved: How you can participate in the process.

  • Calendar: Upcoming planning activities.

  • Discussion: On-line discussion boards about various aspects of the planning process. Leave your feedback here. Do you agree with the emerging direction or promising initiative? Do you think it is a priority or do you have concerns with word choices? Are our promising initiatives in agreement with our emerging directions? Are there initiatives we're missed and should pursue? Let us know!

  • Resource Center: The button on the left side of the screen gives you access to a wide range of documents including background information, meeting minutes, and proposals. (Note: This link will open a new screen and take you to the resource documents on the Martha's Vineyard Commission website. When you have found what you are looking for, either close that screen or click on the Island Plan button).

If you are a member of the Network of Planning Advisors, you should have been issued a password (contact the MVC if you forgot it) which lets your post messages to Discussion Boards and gives you access planning workrooms. Everyone is invited to join (go to Get Involved).

Recent local newspaper articles about the Island Plan can be viewed on The Martha's Vineyard Times and The Vineyard Gazette websites.
