Barnstable County Commissioners have voted unanimously to send a letter to Governor Healey and the Massachusetts General Court urging significant funding for Cape Cod in the upcoming Environmental Bond Bill.
The commissioners are calling for a 500-million-dollar allocation to the Massachusetts Clean Water Trust as the region's need for wastewater and environmental infrastructure continues to grow.
During their meeting, commissioners also heard presentations on a regional compost facility study and an expansion of the clean water research center.
They also voted to support a local anti-litter campaign.
