The West Tisbury select board and the town’s affordable housing committee will continue to develop a grant program incentivizing town residents to construct affordable housing on their properties.

A program incentivizing West Tisbury residents to build affordable housing on their property will not appear before voters at the upcoming town meeting.

The West Tisbury select board voted March 8 to remove the program from the town meeting warrant. Citing concerns from the town manager and town attorney, the board considered documents provided by the town’s affordable housing committee for the program to be incomplete.

The drop is largely due to increasing property values, according to the town.
