Conversation Starters
Covid-19 Update
As of Nov. 27, Eastham had 7 new active cases within the last 14 days, 23 cases considered recovered, and no deaths.
Volunteers Sought
The search committee is looking for volunteers to serve on town committees. Some of the current vacancies include spots on the harbor planning committee, planning board, and zoning board of appeals.
Volunteer information brochures are available at Eastham’s post office and inside the front door at town hall, or go online to view committee charges and application information at eastham-ma.gov.
Possible Return to Phase One Roads
The town is considering going back to resurface roads not done in phase one of the town’s water project.
When the project was launched, repaving was not included, Town Administrator Jacquie Beebe explained at the Nov. 12 finance committee meeting. “When we started the project … we intended to leave a patch in the road,” said Beebe.
As the project progressed it became apparent that patching the road was not a practical option, and with the project about $6 million under budget, the resurfacing was done.
“The conundrum now is that all the phase two roads are going to be fully restored, even private roads,” said Beebe. “What we’re talking about is what can we do out of fairness to both the public and private roads in phase one that have not been resurfaced.”
It would be about 18 months before it’s known if the remaining water funds would cover the cost of the phase one resurfacing, but Beebe said she was “fairly confident we’ll be able to do it with the remaining water funds.”
