Your feedback helps us prioritize what to improve next.
The expanded definition could allow the Commission to review more types of partial removal as demolition, not only complete teardowns. No new penalty structure is in effect from this meeting; staff will first study possible fees, fines, and other enforcement options. The Commission also approved several property applications, including conditions for three Nantucket Housing Authority buildings at 158 Madaket Road.
