DCPC Hearing

The Martha’s Vineyard Commission will hold a public hearing on designation of the land zone of the Island wind district of critical planning concern on Thursday, Dec. 10 at 7:30 p.m., at the commission office in the Olde Stone Building in Oak Bluffs.

The commission has already designated the ocean zone of the wind DCPC. The hearing on Dec. 10 will air the issue of whether the commission should designate the land and inland waters as well. The proposed district land zone includes air space above 150 feet over all lands and waters of Dukes County with the exception of certain Indian lands, all school grounds, and the town of Edgartown.

A draft version of goals and guidelines for the district is available. Visit mvcommission.org or call 508-693-3453.
