Community Engagement

The Town of Nantucket is updating its Master Plan — a long-range guide for growth, land use, and community priorities. Caommunity engagement is a central part of this process. This page provides opportunities for residents, seasonal residents, and stakeholders to share their perspectives and help shape Nantucket’s future. Your feedback will inform the plan’s goals, strategies, and recommendations.

We’ll be sharing more opportunities to participate soon—stay tuned!
