41 Jefferson Avenue Beach Project
The NLB is excited to advance plans to relocate the existing structures at 41 Jefferson Avenue in order to restore the public beach and expand parking. Planned improvements include: New accessible parking spaces, Mobimats or a boardwalk for easier beach access, and a small dune system designed to help retain sand and protect the shoreline. These efforts aim to create a beach experience that is welcoming and accessible for all.
41 Jefferson Houses ReUse Project
The 41 Jefferson ReUse initiative reflects a shared commitment to sustainability, community partnership, and creative solutions to Nantucket’s housing challenges. By relocating and reusing existing structures instead of demolishing them, the project reduces waste, preserves historical character, and expands access to much‑needed housing options.
