Tisbury’s select board last week authorized up to $9,999 for a study of the town’s four-acre property at 66 High Point Lane, to determine its potential suitability for future town offices.

There are no restrictions on development at the site, which potentially could accommodate a new town hall and police station, town administrator Jay Grande told the board at an online meeting August 20.

“It’s the only scenario that’s been put forward where you could actually have both buildings, either in a single building or side by side, on one location,” Mr. Grande said.

The High Point Lane property, which abuts the capped town landfill, currently houses the health, planning and animal control departments in a pair of aging modular buildings known as the town hall annex.

Other town functions are divided between the cramped town hall on Spring Street and the public works department building at 146 High Point Lane, where Mr. Grande and his staff decamped last year after mold was discovered in some of the town hall offices.

The police station is also short on space at its current downtown location, which is located in a flood hazard zone, Mr. Grande said.

Environmental Partners, a Quincy-based consultancy that frequently contracts with Island municipalities, will conduct the High Point Lane study.

Also last week, the select board formed a committee to search for a successor to Mr. Grande, who announced earlier this year that he will not seek a contract renewal next spring.

The board named Rick Homans, Nancy Gilfoy, Jon Snyder and Lyndsay Famariss to the town administrator search committee.
