The Martha’s Vineyard Commission Thursday approved a proposal from Rymes Propane Gas to operate a propane delivery business off High Point Lane in Vineyard Haven.
John Rymes, the owner of the New Hampshire-based company, said he saw a need for another propane supplier on the Island, and he plans to start a temporary facility on property owned by Peter Goodale. The project had sparked some debate about whether the property’s development of regional impact status could be rescinded when the propane company relocates.
Evan Schwab of Chilmark, and Nicholas Wilbur of Vineyard Haven were recently graduated from the University of Rhode Island. Evan received a BSBA degree in supply chain management. Nicholas received a degree in aquaculture and fishery technology.
Evan was also named to the dean’s list for the spring 2012 semester. He joins Erin Marie Gosson of Edgartown in that achievement.
