A planned 40-unit affordable housing development in Edgartown moved closer to approval Thursday night as the Martha’s Vineyard Commission closed its public hearing on the project.

Casting paper ballots marked YES or NO, Tisbury voters overwhelmingly approved 373 to 112 nearly $26 million in new funding for the proposed school renovations.

From a failing roof to inadequate, outdated energy systems, the West Tisbury School needs a complete overhaul, officials said Monday at a meeting of the up-Island school committee.

Tisbury’s first responders had a complicated Sunday afternoon with emergencies both on land and in the water, followed by a Monday-morning incident that moved from street to sea and back again.

Between Owen Park and the West Chop Cemetery, Vineyard Haven’s Main street was once the seasonal home of four internationally acclaimed writers and a renowned broadcast journalist.

The pilot of a privately-owned seaplane came before the Tisbury select board last week to request a harbor use permit to land and take off in Vineyard Haven’s outer harbor.

The owners of a 147-year-old East Chop home had their demolition application denied by the Martha’s Vineyard Commission Thursday night.

Tisbury voters will weigh in at a special town meeting Tuesday on nearly $26 million in additional borrowing to complete the Tisbury School renovation project.

Pinkletink and Boaty McBoatface won’t soon be plying the waters between Woods Hole and Vineyard Haven, having failed to make the short-list of names for the newest additions to the Steamship Authority fleet.

Steamship Authority customers were spared a fare increase in 2022, but more than $3 million in red ink on next year’s draft operating budget spells higher prices for riders in 2023.
