Feasibility study meeting
Please join the Edgartown Council on Aging (ECOA) on Tuesday, July 1, at 3 pm at the Edgartown Public Library as we welcome consultants from Barman, Hendrie + Archetype back to Martha’s Vineyard. They will be sharing the results of the June ECOA survey and the work-in-progress of the potential ECOA plans they’re drawing up, based on Edgartown residents’ feedback.
The ECOA is at a critical point in its history, and we want your input to help us chart our course. Whether you’re 24 or 94, we’d welcome your feedback! Please join us and be part of the solution.
