Island Plan
Everyone in the Vineyard community is invited to take the Development and Growth Survey, a public opinion survey about how the Vineyard community should manage future development, to say what you think about the amount, location and rate of growth. The survey is part of efforts to develop an Island Plan. It also asks about various tools that could be used to make sure that new construction, renovation and rebuilding better respect the natural environment, fit into neighborhoods, and deal with affordability.
