Just by way of background, the foundation was launched in 2015 by the Cape Cod Chamber of Commerce. ? The Blue Economy Project is a regional initiative to promote and sustain a maritime-focused economy on Cape Cod, the islands of Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket, and southern Plymouth County. ? This effort builds on existing tourism industries, a world class marine research and technology cluster, and sustainable use planning dedicated to preserving the Cape’s environment and quality of life. Initial project support funding was provided by a grant from the Baker-Polito administration’s Seaport Economic Council. ? For 2024, they would like to focus on electrification, which sits well in the airport’s wheelhouse with our 20-acre array and many tenants who have or are seeking rooftop solar on their facilities. As well as installation of recharging stations for both vehicles and electric aviation. o June 13 (rain date June 20) 2024 – Festivities on the Flight Line o September 2024 – ?
