Assessment of the Direct, Indirect and Induced Economic Effects of Chain Stores on the Regional Economy of Cape Cod
The Smart Planning & Growth Coalition retained FXM Associates to prepare an independent assessment of the effects of chain retailers on the economy of Cape Cod. The impact that chain retailers have on direct and indirect household income, employment, business sales, and local taxes has been the subject of numerous case studies in other communities. Using relevant analogies from this work, as well as new research specific to Cape Cod, FXM sought to compare future conditions in the regional economy assuming that the current mix of retailers on Cape Cod is not sustained and that big box and other chain stores capture a significant share of forecast growth in demand for retail purchases
Cape Cod Residents Survey (2005)
Every five years, the Cape Cod Commission (CCC) prepares a Regional Policy Plan to guide development throughout Barnstable County. In order to produce an updated plan that meets the needs and goals of all Cape residents, the CCC engaged the Center for Survey Research at the University of Massachusetts Boston (CSR) to conduct a survey of Cape Cod residents to solicit their views about important local issues. This report summarizes the results of that survey.

Long-term Solid Waste Disposal Alternatives
This Phase One Report outlines several potential disposal options located on Cape, off Cape, and out of state and includes more traditional as well as less traditional means of municipal solid waste disposal; the list is not necessarily inclusive of all disposal options available on the market at this time. This report concludes by recommending to the Contract Committee (an advisory committee established by the Barnstable County Commissioners in 2007 and hereafter referred to as the Committee) a series of viable disposal options for further analysis and consideration, one of which will likely be recommended as the most viable option for future solid waste disposal.
