YOUR VIEW: Canty speech ‘disrespectful, demeaning and judgmental’

Along with other residents of West Plymouth, I attended the Select Board meeting on November 10, 2026. I live very close to the huge 392-apartment, 40B proposal by developer Rick Vayo, which the Select Board summarily voted to approve on a fast track, and to send a prepared Memorandum of Agreement and Support letter to the state housing agency, with no residents of the area present at the meeting.

Ocean View Hotel Faces Historic Hurdle

A controversial plan for a new hotel in Oak Bluffs faces an uncertain future after a town historic committee refused to give it its blessing last month. On Oct. 13, the Copeland plan review committee voted 3-1 that the proposed Ocean View Hotel was not appropriate for the district. The three-story, 26-room, Victorian-style hotel, backed by Boston-based developer Charles Hajjar, is designed to pay homage to the original Ocean View that burned down in 1965.

YOUR VIEW: Parking lot criticism ‘missed the mark’

Reasons offered in a recent letter in the Plymouth Independent questioning the addition of 90 new parking spaces at Nathaniel Morton Elementary School missed the mark. Limiting impervious surfaces and reducing the potential for contaminant runoff into the harbor is always beneficial. But adding shared parking spaces at this location won’t change society’s preference for large vehicles; it doesn’t argue for smaller (compact) parking spaces, and it won’t reduce harmful stormwater runoff.
