Morgan Woods is a 60-unit workforce housing project in the resort community of Edgartown, Massachusetts, on Martha’s Vineyard. The developer, the Community Builders, in a partnership with the leaders of Edgartown, was able to create affordable rental options for the town’s workforce through a creative land deal, modular construction, and progressive zoning. The 21-building residential community stands as a model for other resort towns, which often encounter affordable housing shortages.
