The Town government has a wide variety of governing boards that adjudicate a number of regulatory and policy issues. We encourage you to learn more about our local government and have your voice heard. The protection of our local environmental resources is more successful when more citizens let their voice be heard. Calendars and Agendas for all of the regulatory bodies appear on the Town website. The Nantucket Land & Water Council appears primarily before the following political bodies.
