Cape Cod Economic Development Council

Description

The CapeAbilities Farm would like to provide over 5,000 hours of paid employment for adults with disabilities. To accomplish this goal CapeAbilities needs to expand its operation by building an additional green house and adding year-round grow lights. $60,000 was raised for the construction of the greenhouse through a fundraiser at the Naked Oyster. To date, both the Cape Cod Academy School and the International Fund for Animal Welfare are interested in creating lunch programs that include fresh salads.

Funds will support a professional and technical critique of a study that purports to measure the variation in the gap between the uncontrollable costs of providing local, non-school public services by 351 Massachusetts cities and towns, and those municipalities capacity to raise revenue to pay their costs. This “gap disparity” study is the basis for a new state aid formula to be proposed to state government by the Mass Municipal Association. The study concludes that Cape Cod has no such gap, rather they have a surplus.
