Wastewater Infrastructure's Effects on Economic Opportunity in Yarmouth

Due to environmental concerns related to elevated nitrogen levels in the waters of Cape Cod, there is an imperative for Yarmouth and other towns on Cape Cod to address wastewater treatment and the ramifications of building (or not building) wastewater infrastructure.
The purpose of this study is to: (1) examine the role of wastewater infrastructure as a driver of economic growth; and (2) assess the potential growth that may be unlocked in Yarmouth with the introduction of a municipal wastewater treatment system.
