Summary
The Nantucket Islands Land Bank issued an Invitation for Bids (IFB) for the restoration and improvements of Lily Pond Park, a 6.5-acre park in downtown Nantucket. The roughly $6.6 million project will improve the visitor experience by enhancing park entrances, expanding internal circulation, providing educational signage, restoring wetlands (approximately 2,500 feet of existing wetland and an additional 1,700 feet of constructed wetland), redoing the boardwalk system, installing accessible brick walkways, and re-grading and replanting wetland areas. The bid was publicly announced on June 24, 2026, making this a recently opened competitive solicitation rather than a closed or grant-funded program.
