Report of the <br />Building Department <br />To the Honorable Board of Selectmen and the <br />Citizens of the Town of Mashpee: <br />The true role of this Department is ensure that the <br />home in which you live, the apartment you rent, or the <br />business you enter is safe for you and your family. <br />Safety is what we strive for, and helping you keep your <br />investment in good condition is the result of obtaining <br />the proper permits and inspections. This is what <br />permitting and inspections do, for it all works to <br />everyone's advantage in the end. <br />We also have the goal of ensuring the Town of <br />Mashpee has a healthy housing stock. When a <br />community has a healthy housing stock, the world <br />takes notice. Visitors are attracted to our Town, <br />neighborhoods grow, and businesses thrive. People <br />feel secure in the knowledge that their homes and the <br />local businesses they frequent are safe for them and <br />their families. <br />This Department is just one piece of a puzzle, <br />working alongside other departments with the same <br />goal, which is to keep you and your family safe here in <br />the Town of Mashpee. <br />The biggest project that we have been involved <br />with over the past year has been the scanning of the <br />vast majority of our permit files, which are now stored <br />on a computer. <br />Other projects that this office has been involved <br />in are: Southport, which is nearing completion; <br />Mashpee Commons, which has continued to construct <br />several buildings consisting of apartments above with <br />commercial units below; Industrial Drive and Echo <br />Road, which have also seen development of several <br />small businesses. <br />Our office is looking forward to the challenges <br />that this new growth will bring. <br />Respectfully submitted, <br />Michael Mendoza <br />Building Commissioner <br />93 <br />
