_ s+ 11 .......... Mashpee is a community that supports commerce and economic development. Through stew- ardship that honors our rich history while embracing purposeful change, we have made Mashpee a place that supports a robust year round economy while attracting visitors from all across the country, with many returning year after year. Mashpee's experienced and savvy citizenry have built a thriving business community that con- tinues to expand in every area — from retail, to healthcare, to hospitality and the trades. Mashpee business owners have a reputation as being creative, hard-working and dedicated to the broader community. It is no surprise that individuals from all walks of life, with a vari- ety of skills, talents, interests and ideas, choose to bring their business here and why so many of them call Mashpee their home. Mashpee's sound fiscal condition and commitment to ensuring residents have access to the goods and services they desire help make Mashpee a great place to live and work. The Town's economic development initiatives are fine tuned to improve the fiscal health of the communi- ty while supporting efforts to protect the land and natural resources in our custody and care. We recognize that economic and environmental sustainability are closely linked; therefore, when we think in terms of growth, we always consider the environmental impact connected to it. Investments in environmental protection and restoration are viewed by the Town as an investment in our long term economic sustainability. Building on the success of previous economic development initiatives, we look forward to see- ing new projects unfold—projects that are designed to attract people to the Town of Mashpee and, more importantly, to enrich the quality of life for everyone who lives, works, and plays here.
