As the Steamship Authority continues its search for a new general manager, several key department heads this week outlined steps needed to secure a stable future for the ferry line.
Rico’s Boat Service, which straddles the Oak Bluffs-Vineyard Haven town line at Down Island Farms Road and Holmes Hole Road, is challenging a bill of more than $24,000 from the Martha’s Vineyard Commission for its 1.39 acre project.
More than 40 years after building Tisbury Market Place, developer Sam Dunn is preparing to open a restaurant called Ocean Club in the former Old Stone Bank lobby, the final step in his most ambitious Island project yet.
The Martha’s Vineyard Commission has declined to take up two referrals from Edgartown, saying the projects in question don’t qualify as developments of regional impact.
Ocean Club, a new fine-dining restaurant on Vineyard Haven’s Main street, has received its eatery license from the Tisbury select board and is in the final stages of local inspections.
The select board voted 2-1 to send a letter to the state senate’s transportation committee, which is currently considering the bill that would restrict SSA board members to no more than three three-year terms.
