Project Updates
As of October 17, 2025
The Tisbury Town Hall Location Task Group presented two siting options to the Select Board at its October 7 meeting. We have included, below, the PowerPoint presented to the Select Board, which details the process, and the two options the Task Group presented.
We invite residents and interested parties to contact the Task Group with questions and/or comments. Please use the following email address: officeofthetownadministrator@tisburyma.gov to submit comments and/or questions.
The Select Board is scheduled to discuss, and possibly vote, at its October 28th meeting, on a final site for a new Tisbury Town Hall.
BACKGROUND
The Town of Tisbury currently operates its services from multiple locations within the Town and seeks to
consolidate as many services as feasible and practical onto one site. Preference will be given to a site large
enough to accommodate both the Town Hall and the Tisbury Police Department.
CHARGE
At its March 11, 2025 meeting, the Tisbury Select Board appointed the Town Hall Location Task Group
to conduct a Site Selection Study for a new, consolidated Tisbury Town Hall.
Members of the Task Group include Lyndsey Famariss, Russell Hartenstine, Rick Homans,
Town Administrator Joe LaCivita and Daniel Phelan.
The Select Board instructed the Task Group to limit its search to town-owned properties and to include both the Town Hall and the Police Department in the Site Selection Study.
The group, through the Town, conducted an RFP process and hired ICON Architects of Boston to assist with the study.
ICON has performed similar work on numerous other municipal buildings, and was the architect for
the recently completed Oak Bluffs Town Hall.
The Site Selection Study has included a review of all town-owned properties, including information relevant to site development and use including, but not limited to, size of parcel, accessibility,
space allocation per department and schematic design, for a modern-day town hall facility.
