In December 2009, the Martha's Vineyard Commission adopted the Island Plan "as a regional planning document to be used by the Commission, the community and the Towns for guidance and inspiration, in conjunction with Town master plans and other plans and policies which have been and may be adopted from time to time. The Commission is committed to the Island Plan being a dynamic living document and expects that there will be new ideas and adjustments incorporated into the Plan as times may change and the community and Towns consider it and work to implement it."
The the Island Plan outlines a vision for the future of Martha's Vineyard and includes 207 strategies for getting there. A pdf version can be downloaded by clicking on the name of the document to the left. Printed copies have been distributed to town boards and libraries.
