    Whether you're looking for one of the best spots to catch a sunset on Cape Cod, take a chartered fishing boat, grab some local seafood, take a day trip on the water, or spend time on the endless flats of Cape Cod Bay, you can find it all at Rock Harbor in Orleans. Home to a small fleet of local fishing boats, Rock Harbor is a popular spot for locals and visitors arriving by car, foot, or bicycle. The Commission is working with the Town of Orleans to quantify the economic impact of this iconic location.      https://lnkd.in/e89_hDdw

The Cape Cod Commission is working with a consulting team of Flintlock LAB, Union Studio Architecture and Design, and Kronberg Urbanists and Architects to develop plans for a variety of compact and small-scale housing types, such as detached accessory dwelling units or cottages, duplexes, townhouses, triplexes, and small multifamily buildings.  Read more:  https://lnkd.in/e9Zhk3_e
