Edgartown Master Plan

The Edgartown Master Plan has been finalized and is ready for implementation. The Planning Board appointed 9 Edgartown residents to begin action on the goals outlined in the Master Plan.

 Implementation Committee Members: Juliet Mulinare (Chair), Erin Ready (Vice Chair), David Ignacio, Mike MacKenty, Jonathan Blum, Joan Dunayer, Jeff Agnoli, Bob Forrester, and Kate Campbell.

Upcoming Meetings and Events:

In 1989, a dedicated group of consultants, elected officials and residents drafted a comprehensive municipal management plan for the Town of Edgartown. Adopted by a vote of Town Meeting in April of 1990, that plan was forward thinking and inclusive, and included the concerns and interests of those who participated in its drafting and writing...

…and that was the last time the Edgartown Master Plan was updated.

In February of 2020, the Edgartown Planning Board named nineteen members to a Master Plan Steering Committee, and charged them to prepare a Request for Proposals for Master Plan Consultant Services, conduct interviews, and submit a final recommendation to the Planning Board for review and approval.

And, then, Covid-19 hit, the Town Hall was locked down, and the Master Planning Effort was put on hold for more nearly twelve months.

In May of 2021, funding for the Master Plan consultant was appropriated by Town Meeting.  The Steering Committee issued the RFP and conducted interviews with respondents.  Finally, in August of 2021, more than sixteen months after receiving its charge, the Committee recommended Dover, Kohl and Partners, a national municipal planning consultancy, to lead the master plan efforts.
