The plan is intended to address Nantucket’s housing shortage and help the Town retain employees who cannot afford the private housing market. The packet reports that median monthly rent for a two-bedroom apartment exceeds $4,200, 25% of municipal employees are housing-cost burdened, and 18% are severely burdened. The Board supported speaking favorably at Town Meeting about the Waitt Drive proposal, but the minutes do not show final approval or funding for that project.
