The Island Plan

The Island Plan is a regional land use and environmental policy framework, completed by the Martha's Vineyard Commission (MVC) in 2009–2010 following years of community-wide planning. It sets out shared goals for housing, transportation, water quality, economic vitality, land conservation and forest stewardship. The Island Plan is a statement of community values intended to guide the MVC's review of development proposals under the Developments of Regional Impact (DRI) process. FVF draws inspiration from the Island Plan's conservation goals, including its emphasis on protecting forests, groundwater, and the natural character of the Vineyard.
