VISION STATEMENT, Adopted October 20, 2009

The vision of the Roads and Right of Way Committee is to preserve access to Nantucket's public and private lands, including our harbors, coastline, ponds, moors, conservation lands and historical sites. Access is one of the greatest gifts the Town of Nantucket can protect for our current and future citizens.
