RFP for Site Suitability Tool
The Martha’s Vineyard Commission has chosen to proceed with Bluegear Labs in working toward an agreement to design the Site Suitability Tool. Thank you to all of the respondents who committed time to compile a response for this project.
Since the last part of the 20th century, the cost of housing on Martha's Vineyard has soared to such levels that many year-round residents and seasonal workers are unable to find an adequate place to live, and many businesses have increasing difficulty retaining the workforce they need. To maintain a healthy and economically diverse society we need to ensure that there is a full range of housing options for the year-round population by assisting people whose needs are not met by market-rate housing.
