A proposal to create a Martha’s Vineyard housing bank appears to be headed to voters in the spring after the Edgartown and West Tisbury select boards agreed this week to put a revised version of the article on their annual town meeting warrants.
Following on the heels of Edgartown’s 2-1 vote Tuesday, the two-member West Tisbury select board agreed Wednesday to place the revised Islandwide housing bank article on this year’s annual town meeting warrant.
Capping weeks of debate, the Edgartown select board voted 2-1 Tuesday to place a revised housing bank article on the warrant for the April annual town meeting.
As the coalition to create a Martha’s Vineyard housing bank whittles away at a draft town meeting warrant article, questions and criticism from public officials keep flowing.
A revised version of a draft article to create an Island housing bank came before the Edgartown select board Monday, but the board delayed a vote again.
The Tisbury select board voted Wednesday to place the housing bank article on the annual town meeting warrant, joining Aquinnah and Chilmark in agreeing to bring the question to voters next spring.
