MVC sued Island Elderly Housing has filed a lawsuit against the Martha’s Vineyard Commission for conditions placed on an approval of IEH’s proposed elderly housing project in Oak Bluffs,
Aidylberg III. The suit states that the conditions placed on the approval by the commission exceed their authority and go beyond what’s contained in zoning bylaws. Reporter Abigail Rosen has the latest on this development.

Covid count concludes
With everyone using take-home COVID tests to determine whether they
need to be isolated, the Island boards of health have decided to wrap up their reporting of COVID case counts after two and a half years. Don’t worry, public health notices will be sent out by the boards of health if the Vineyard enters a high-risk CDC category. Folks can also check the CDC website for information on Dukes County case counts.

Floating ideas
The Steamship Authority is bringing on two new vessels to join their fleet, and they need help picking names. With
the total purchase and restoration of the two ferries totaling about $32 million, the SSA is reaching out to the community for help in finding the perfect names. What’s your idea? All naming entries must be received by Monday, Sept. 5, so start brainstorming. On a similar note, ferry schedules will be slightly altered for Beach Road Weekend — plan ahead.

MEETINGSThere are no meetings scheduled for Friday, unless you count the people who are planning to meet up at Beach Road Weekend.

Successful Turnkey Business in Oak Bluffs Sponsored This property is perfect for anyone looking to run a business with an opportunity to build a home onsite. An uncommon asset on Martha's Vineyard. A new owner can construct a home for themselves or perhaps two apartments for a mix of personal use and employee housing or rental units. A successful business is included in the price as well as the restaurant equipment. There is an opportunity to enhance the outdoor seating atmosphere and continue with the 74 seat capacity inside. The building is in great
condition as much of it was renovated in 2017 which includes new restaurant equipment (stoves, refrigerators, freezers, all necessary kitchen items) as well as a new propane HVAC system. This is a gem of an opportunity in a really great location. Very easy to step right in to a fully functioning and well-equipped business and design your own home for the property. This area is rapidly changing and becoming a highly desirable area in Oak Bluffs.
