West Dennis Apartments
The apartments at 323 Main Street, West Dennis, are coming on-line.

Ron will be putting planters along the street side of the building. Out back, there will be picnic tables in the grass area for the residents.

Thank you to the Selectmen, Dennis community and people across the Cape for your continuing support.
PS, If we can get 200 feet of silt fence and hay bales installed, we can clear the work area.
