This is a developing story. The U.S. Department of the Interior announced on Monday a pause on leases for all large-scale offshore wind projects under construction. The order affects at least two projects off the coast of Martha’s Vineyard that were near completion — Vineyard Wind 1 and Revolution Wind.

The Aquinnah Select Board has appointed Christopher P. Manning Thursday as a full-time officer to ease the severe staffing shortage that has left the Island’s smallest town relying on costly help from the Dukes County Sheriff’s Office.

Manning is a town resident and the most recent appointee to Aquinnah’s select board. He currently serves as a full-time…
