The Tisbury selectmen, concerned about the high number of sidewalks around town that remained impassable long after the recent storms had ended, remind residents and business owners that nonremoval of snow is a violation of a town bylaw, punishable by a fine.

The Martha’s Vineyard Commission last Thursday unanimously approved a proposal to renovate and expand Morning Glory Farm in Edgartown, which was under review as a development of regional impact (DRI).

The plan was reviewed by the commission’s land use planning committee last Monday and approved by the full commission last Thursday after 30 minutes of deliberation.

The plan now goes before the Edgartown planning board for review at the local level.

The Gazette office will be closed on Monday, Jan. 18, in observance of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day. It will reopen Tuesday at the usual time.
