BARNSTABLE – The Massachusetts Inspector General says that he has concerns about the decades-long wastewater projects planned by Cape towns.
Inspector General Jeffrey Shapiro was just on Cape recently to raise awareness about public reporting and he says preserving institutional knowledge and keeping good records will be vital to ensuring the projects get completed on time, on budget, and legally even as staff changes over the years.
Among his outreach efforts has also been ongoing conversations with town leaders across Cape on management, especially with other big-ticket items like housing projects on town lands looming.
Fraud, waste or abuse of public funds and property can be reported to [email protected] or 1 (800) 322 1323.
