Plans to renovate and expand the Howes House in West Tisbury have run up against repeated roadblocks in recent weeks.
Plans to renovate and expand the Howes House in West Tisbury have run up against repeated roadblocks in recent weeks.
This week, the West Tisbury board presented a new prospective breakdown for the Howes House renovation, with 60 per cent of the project being paid for by West Tisbury, 30 per cent by Chilmark and 10 per cent by Aquinnah.
The new proposed formula would make West Tisbury responsible for 60 per cent of the renovation costs, Chilmark for 30 per cent and Aquinnah for 10 per cent.
Chilmark and West Tisbury renewed joint funding talks over for the Howes House renovation at a joint select board meeting this week.
The Aquinnah select board Tuesday was unsure if it could fund initiatives at the Howes House and Moshup Trail.
West Tisbury is pumping the brakes on plans to renovate the Howes House after the select board voted Wednesday to withdraw an article to appropriate $215,000 for a project now estimated to cost $10 million in total.
