We are continuing to monitor the rapidly evolving COVID-19 situation and work closely with county and public health officials. The safety and well-being of our staff and the community is our priority and as such our staff is primarily working remotely. We will hold virtual meetings as appropriate and will make regular updates to our website to inform stakeholders and the public.

We have developed a list of community resources regarding COVID-19. As always, please visit our website for Commission project and program information.

In difficult times we are stronger when we come together as a region, as one Cape Cod, to face our greatest challenges.

Stay healthy and well.
