Recently, the Town of Gosnold, Cuttyhunk Ferry Company, and the Buzzards Bay Coalition submitted a proposal in an effort to preserve the ferry’s spot at
the pier. Read more here.

Hot water
High price tags for HVAC work has become a common impasse, including with municipalities looking to replace or upgrade old, outdated systems. There have been
several examples of costs growing exponentially, and frustrations came to a head at a recent finance committee meeting. And a town administrator apologizes for not being transparent. Read that story here.

Booking uncertainties The Martha’s Vineyard Black Book Festival wants to hold its event at the Island Inn in Oak Bluffs, but not everyone is sold that it’s the right spot for the event. Town officials were concerned about traffic and the residential zoning of the area, while neighbors argued another location would be more appropriate for the festival. Read more here.

Custom Build with a Pool, Edgartown Sponsored Newly built, custom home located in Katama, just a short walk to Edgartown and a quick bike ride to South Beach. A new owner will appreciate the thought and attention to detail that has been incorporated into this home, which was designed and built by an experienced building company, Speedwagon Partners. Featuring a combination of contemporary
design and expertly crafted details, like bespoke cabinetry, porcelain and quartz surfaces, and white oak flooring, the home instantly feels very luxurious and elegant. There are a total of four bedrooms and four full baths, plus two half-baths and two laundry rooms. The living spaces are open to each other, yet also defined, with an abundance of natural light thanks to oversized windows and high ceilings. The living room fireplace, Wolf and Thermadore kitchen appliances, and a 10-foot quartz island are just some of the features that make this property stand out. A finished lower-level completes the home, and the property is well-landscaped, focusing on a gunite pool and a hot tub with tasteful stonework, plus a gas fire pit and decking.

eats, it’s eco-friendly, and it holds salsa dances every Friday night — what more could you want from a cafe? Owner Iggy Vukoje spoke about the steps taken to open this cafe: a J1 visa, an environmental science degree, and a lot of trial, error, energy, and passion. Reflecting on his establishment, he emphasizes the cafe’s driving sentiments of inclusivity, sustainability, and community. Read more about it here.
