Introduction, Study Method, Study Guidelines
The major municipal facilities in Tisbury are currently located in makeshift, overcrowded and inefficient quarters that were not designed for these purposes. The Town Hall, The Town Hall Annex, Fire Department and Police Department buildings all have serious drawbacks stemming from their location and/or the limitations of the buildings.

Priorities
See the priorities for the assessment.
-
Police Department
Today, the Police Department occupies a building at the rear of the Water Street lot which they share with the Ambulance Service.
-
Parking & Recreation
The two tennis courts, located between Church and Center streets just west of Main Street, have often been cited as a site for a municipal parking lot. (There is a small twelve-car lot on the site today).
-
Town Hall
Having the Town’s administrative functions divided into two separate buildings located several blocks away from each other is awkward, inefficient and inconvenient both for municipal workers and for the public.
