Yale Study: Sustaining Fishers Island 
March ’14 Working Draft

The Yale Urban Design Workshop has prepared the document titled Sustaining Fishers Island: A blueprint for protecting the future. This work is a result of a thorough study of Fishers Island including its unique considerations, assets and constraints, and through conversations with Fishers Island residents /stakeholders and Island Community Board (ICB) members representing different island organizations, and then further assessment of the island’s options. It contains recommended steps to address the long-standing and long-term issues of population, jobs, infrastructure and the present and future costs of Island living.

The Island Community Board (ICB) recently reviewed and accepted the working draft of the comprehensive work – the result of a 22-month process. The 122-page report published here begins with the Front Matter including acknowledgements, and the 6 Chapters: Introduction; Framing The Problem; Plan Methodology; Wrightville; Improving Infrastructure; and Getting It Done; as well as the Appendix.
