Tom Dixon told members the EOHLC guidance is now available and that the Planning Board will consider related planning articles at an upcoming hearing. Members said it is too early to determine whether Nantucket will need fundamental local changes. They noted the guidance has been revised since earlier drafts and that questions remain about items such as temporary moratoria or permitting approaches for multiple ADUs.

Trust members said they had exchanged questions with planning staff and the Select Board about how the guidance might affect Nantucket’s existing rules. No formal position or motion was adopted by the Trust; members said they would follow Planning Board work and defer to planning staff to interpret and recommend any local changes.","Members discussed the Commonwealth’s final accessory dwelling unit (ADU) guidance issued by EOHLC and noted the planning board will consider its implications; Trust members said local impacts remain unclear and planning will define specifics.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6350067,"Wiggles project moving forward; developer says units on schedule and on budget",75,777000,852000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2235072-9e35e0513cb8dffbb44fae0fd2193084&start=777&end=852","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2235072-9e35e0513cb8dffbb44fae0fd2193084/thumbnail_777000.jpg","/articles/6350067/Nantucket-County/Massachusetts/Wiggles-project-moving-forward-developer-says-units-on-schedule-and-on-budget","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6350067-a395ec21702fe4b4bb921a1d3fb5eb61/orig.mp4?Expires=1771201287&Signature=gtZfov074Gr7NUuWQC1FAZ2KhDY2huEEZKWZ2-cTFv1Fvvk2nJlEl0sgMov8fOdKMj1bTZcImoT8HNzVeRIwNYj0zFHkVi4jEY7V1ljz8cSAS2mV2s9v2-5FMVZr5mBpgzJpBrP4P8NFu9TNd3aYkWCAtIy6MJSuxRVZ1eQCTiV~KzRNpHnZ9tV7T4yeH43HAnK2LJPNBwmodTz8ZKaMFczkaA4hMK72b~rbt2Nivwyk8NTgbliQylP5VEnbxGVQdsPWBRNvH~dM51W7vbIgEEVyfwaLAkVIwhevVDDUJEgGesE7BJffd9xX6OpXT1QJ9GGARYGV7ARCoDXPx1B0bw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Trust members received an operational update on the Wiggles housing project, which Trust members said is developer-led and scheduled to begin move-ins in March.

Trust members said Housing Nantucket is the project developer and named Billy Cassidy as the builder. According to the update, two buildings (Buildings 1 and 8) have certificates of occupancy covering four units; buildings 2 through 7 have building permits signed and subsystems certified, and project staff expect final inspections to proceed next week. The Trust was told the project remains on schedule and on budget under a revised finish budget.

Members said 10 of the 22 units have occupant selections completed, leaving 12 units to be selected; the 10 already selected are largely targeted to households at or below 80 percent of area median income. Staff said move-ins will occur on a rolling basis beginning in March and that the developer plans a ribbon-cutting/open-house for the community sometime between the start of move-ins and Town Meeting.

Trust members emphasized that Wiggles is highly visible in the community and suggested an open-house before occupants fully move in to help explain the project and reduce public confusion about the town’s role. The Trust reiterated that the Trust provided funding but that Housing Nantucket is the developer and the builder is a private contractor.

No formal vote was taken on the update; the presentation was informational and Trust members said they would report additional details at a future meeting.","Trust members received an update on the Wiggles housing project: certificates of occupancy issued for two buildings, first move-ins expected in March, and the developer and builder named; the Trust clarified the project is developer-led though funded in part by the Trust.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6350072,"Affordable Housing Trust forms communications subcommittee ahead of annual town meeting",367,320000,687000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2235072-9e35e0513cb8dffbb44fae0fd2193084&start=320&end=687","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2235072-9e35e0513cb8dffbb44fae0fd2193084/thumbnail_320000.jpg","/articles/6350072/Nantucket-County/Massachusetts/Affordable-Housing-Trust-forms-communications-subcommittee-ahead-of-annual-town-meeting","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6350072-b212efe25509c278040726814c9bac5f/orig.mp4?Expires=1771201287&Signature=ZnCbp2vinKEbqyKk~I9xCmp8beUTNdW3e9V19D7v6mVMdMsA0GRcA0D0oL0tNlOhNN11lYpLz0KSKiAWIZhhhsGs5fxtNckzrMWHld6uMMsmMTPG-otOAJ3M2~9oXc8NxVGp5ffYtO2gikOduxHryo-tKJ1RPKyw2woEkiyzpa7mTozmqyYvNcPHCtvzWy2V6ZiyzEhITfZ2Lnagby9TrcaqYRTFmzDlP9fvxhUiU2BK7g1l-4Y2lB7~sdRek32iGaYcNucpVAEYqCicq8kSVbcEXKqlWhyDBG1xPx9zDkymgVUvFFIaT~eE5basAebSyK7pr5wHOtVV0HvfCMQV2Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Affordable Housing Trust agreed to assemble a communications subcommittee to prepare outreach for the annual town meeting and to explain recent housing investments to the public.

The subcommittee will pair at least one Trust member with the town communications department to develop a concise package about the Trust’s recent projects, funding and results. Chair Bridal Sullivan said the goal is to produce materials earlier than last year and to present a recommended communications approach back to the Trust for approval.

Trust members said the public is not always aware of the Trust’s accomplishments and that a clear, simple message is needed to explain how funds have been used. Members suggested summarizing unit counts, projects completed and those under way so residents can quickly see outcomes. Alice Ramos (housing office) was asked to distribute existing packets and past presentation materials as starting points for the subcommittee.

Several members volunteered to help. Chantal Murphy offered to serve; another member indicated availability to help while not working. Members discussed using a mix of social media and traditional outlets depending on the subcommittee’s recommendation and noted that the communications department is undergoing a staffing transition, so the Trust should prepare near–final materials for distribution.

Members flagged a recent news article as an example of public confusion and said outreach should correct factual misunderstandings without adopting a defensive tone. The Trust identified topics to prioritize in outbound messaging: the Trust’s recent production and subsidy counts, the status of current projects, and clarifications about which projects are town-led versus privately developed.

The Trust did not take formal action beyond forming the subcommittee; the group will report back at a future meeting.","The Affordable Housing Trust voted to form a communications subgroup to prepare outreach for the annual town meeting; members volunteered to work with the town communications office to produce simple materials explaining recent housing investments and programs.","actionData","errors"]
