Where Island businesses and Island residents meet in West Tisbury, friction has followed.

Comcast announced this week that it will relocate its Island customer service center from Vineyard Haven to a larger, more centrally located office at the airport business park on Dec. 17.

The center will feature the full range of Comcast’s products and also will serve as home base for the company’s on-Island technical staff.
