CCIAOR Throws Support Behind State Representative Vieira’s Proposed Residential Tax Refund for Septic Upgrades
As part of the Cape Cod and Islands Association of REALTORS® ongoing advocacy work, our CEO, Betsy Hanson, filed public comments with the Massachusetts Policy Act Office (MEPA) regarding the Town of Wellfleet’s Targeted Wastewater Management Plan (TWMP) last week.
With Bourne filing their Notice of Intent, all Cape towns have now committed to cleaning up Nitrogen Sensitive Areas.
If accepted, the appeal would allow STR operators to honor existing bookings.
CCIAOR's advocacy efforts scored a major victory in Bourne on Wednesday, May 28th as the town's Select Board voted 5-0 to reverse course and direct the town to file a Notice of Intent (NOI) for a watershed permit for two Nitrogen Sensitive Areas (NSAs) in town.
A new poll conducted by American Strategies shows strong, broad support for the current proposed plan to replace both the Sagamore and Bourne bridges. The poll showed that 86% of residents on Cape Cod, Martha’s Vineyard, and Nantucket support the current replacement plan.
