Aquinnah selectmen last Friday set a special town meeting for August 7 to reconsider a bylaw for the Island’s first energy district of critical planning concern.

The bylaw, which would regulate alternative energy use in town, specifically the use of wind power, failed to achieve a two-thirds majority vote by four votes at the annual town meeting on July 19.

The Martha’s Vineyard Commission designated the energy DCPC in December of 2008. A townwide building moratorium remains in place pending a vote on the energy bylaw.
