A public hearing held by the Martha’s Vineyard Commission (MVC) Thursday night on phase one of the proposed Martha’s Vineyard Regional High School (MVRHS) field project included testimony from environmental groups, grass experts, and several members of the school athletic community.
The project, which is currently being reviewed by the MVC as a development of regional impact (DRI), includes plans for one synthetic turf field surrounded by a 400-meter track, and one natural grass field, along with other components such as reconfigured parking, a grandstand and pressbox, and a field house.
