NANTUCKET — The Nantucket Community Preservation Committee approved $96,620 in fiscal 2027 grant disbursements and heard five new funding pitches without voting. Chair pro tem Linda Williams ran the meeting in place of absent chair Joe, confirming $31,086 for Interfaith Council rental assistance and $65,534.09 for First Congregational Church foundation pointing. The Nantucket Island School of Design and the Arts, represented by Kathy Kellam Cronin, said it cut its cottage-restoration request from $840,440 to $551,054, calling the reduction "$289,386." The Nantucket Cottage Hospital Thrift Shop sought $32,450 for window work, while Landmark House described a $2,200 single-apartment lock replacement driving a broader hardware request.

First Congregational Church's Brooke Moore faced questions from member Eleanor over reallocated grant funds for a failing arched window, with the church asked to submit a formal reallocation letter by November 9.
