text: This is brilliant and can be an important element in boosting Main Street’s vitality. Bravo for Dunn, who knows the island and is sensitive to its aesthetic.
  I really wished the bank could be repurposed.I generally like Dunn's work, though I wonder if putting condos here is appropriate...
  Sign me up for one of those units! Would love to see the beauty of Vineyard Haven recaptured as a town to live in vs a random strip of commercial activity.....
  Bravo to the developer for repurposing an unused building, and bringing new vitality to Main Street. Hopefully the Town leaders will do their job, require a complete redesign so that it fits in with the rest of the Vineyard, and once that is completed, approve it. The current design is butt-ugly and belongs more in the less attractive area of Los Angeles than on this island.
  The plans for the new building are ugly. Surely they could make the design fit in better with the aesthetic of the town.
  Exciting ideas. Affordable housing as part of this is essential. Creating a design that is congruent with the rest of VH is too.
  The bank is an island treasure. Leave it alone and repurpose for community use. I go to the Vineyard to be on the Vineyard, not to be in Florida or LA. Condos in very poor taste and should not be built. Keep perspective for once don't make this about the amount of money that can be made!
  I am wondering about sea level risings due to climate change. Needs to be part of the discussion if housing is to be included. Also, affordable housing issues should be addressed as part of permission.
  I’m glad the building is being preserved. I hope the new plans for the main structure will preserve the lobby off Main Street, with its lovely domed ceiling.
