The town’s IT manager Adam Darack told selectmen the old site was starting to become outdated and it was time for the town to take advantage of new technology.
Some of the notable changes are a mobile-friendly design, a town calendar with agendas clearly listed, email subscriptions for meeting notifications, and a cemetery plot search tool.
“I don’t think a website is ever finished,” Darack said. “I’m looking for feedback. We’re putting this out there, nothing’s perfect, nothing’s ever really done so if there’s something someone wants to see…I definitely want to hear from people.”

A trial over the approval of a Chappaquiddick cell tower by the Martha’s Vineyard Commission (MVC) wrapped up Monday in a Zoom session presided over by Superior Court Judge Paul Wilson.
Chappy residents Dana and Robert Strayton sued AT&T and the MVC, claiming that the MVC’s tower approval and the processes that led to it were flawed. The Straytons also claimed their home and their enjoyment of it have suffered because of the tower. AT&T and the MVC haven’t seen it that way, and have argued vigorously against the Straytons’ assertions. After the conclusion of testimony from Dana Strayton and wrangling over exhibits and motions, the proceeding wound down without closing arguments.
