Work is ongoing through the T-Time Temporary Site Improvements project, funded through a MassDOT "Shared Streets & Spaces" Grant, and an additional donation of public art and volunteer support from the Cape Cod & Islands Association of REALTORS. Improvements were chosen strategically to satisfy a number of short- and long-term goals that align directly with both the North Eastham Master Plan efforts, and the Town of Eastham Strategic Plan. All work on the T-Time site through this project is temporary in nature, and is intended to make the property usable to the public while long-term planning continues through the North Eastham Master Plan process. Read more about the work completed to date in this recent post on the North Eastham Master Plan Facebook page.
