<br />● Chatham Breeze opened a second location in the Commons <br />● Queen of Swords opened in the Commons (a company that sells eco-conscious goods <br />made by women/women owned businesses) <br />● Duke’s Donut Worx expanded into the space next door <br />● Guilty Bakery opened. It started off as sweets but has expanded to sandwiches and grab <br />and go food. <br />● Elburne, which sells nautical inspired furnishing and also provides consulting, opened. <br />● Naukabout and Wicked and Wood Barbeque will open a popup in the Commons. <br /> <br />Many people will come to Mashpee from off-Cape for the day and spend it at the Commons; <br />Sarah believes the independent, local businesses are a draw. <br /> <br />Housing: <br />Repurposing commercial space: Community Health Center is working with the Commons to <br />possibly repurpose the old Massage Envy space into dorms for medical staff/students who come <br />down for a three to six month rotation. Each person would have a private room with shared <br />bathrooms and a shared kitchen area. Community Health Center would be the leasee (not the <br />residents). <br /> <br /> <br />Workforce and affordable housing: On the 40B footprint, they are looking into creating single <br />family homes with smaller lot lines. It may not be replicable in other parts of town. These are <br />Miller houses. They are solar ready, 2-3 bedroom homes. They are talking about how to build <br />these to keep the prices reasonable. Additionally they are building 127 units of housing <br />(apartments, all rentals) under the 40B project; 20% of them will be affordable. They are <br />designed, permitted, and ready; they just need Mass Housing approval. They are hoping to have <br />it done in 18 months. <br /> <br />Boutique hotel: <br />A boutique hotel is interested in setting up a location at the Commons. The hotel would be small <br />(about 90 rooms) and would not have a restaurant or cafe; the fact that there are restaurants <br />and cafes in the Commons, as well as shopping, is a draw. <br /> <br /> <br />Next Meeting: June 27, 2023 <br /> <br /> <br />Meeting adjourned at 7:25 PM. <br /> <br /> <br />Respectfully submitted by Pamela McCarthy <br /> <br /> <br />
