Progress of the Implementation Teams

Approval of the Greater Tom Nevers Area Plan by the Nantucket Planning & Economic Development Commission represents a true milestone—giving us the long-awaited green light to put our comprehensive Area Plan into action. To spearhead this effort, eight volunteer Implementation Teams have been formed and are now working on your behalf.

With an Area Plan this far-reaching, clearly, some of the Plan's proposed actions will take years to accomplish, because they'll require approval, support and funding from a number of private and government agencies—and in some cases, approval at Town Meeting. All the more reason to get the progress rolling immediately and to keep our eyes firmly fixed on our long-term goals. But other important recommendations can be implemented far sooner and as such are being given top priority.
