Continue to improve our valuable infrastructure, buildings, grounds, and facilities. We hope to seek and attain grant funding to help offset the costs associated with the improvement of these systems and infrastructure. Our department is taking on more and more projects in-house as we have hired extremely skilled staff to join our team over the past few years. We will further develop and train our various Departments on providing the highest level of service to the residents of Provincetown while ensuring staff safety and meeting the goals set forth by the Select Board.
