Community Development Partnership, Eastham MA

“For more than 25 years, the CDP has led the way in expanding opportunities for people to live, work and thrive on Lower Cape Cod. Our focus on the eight towns stretching from Harwich and Chatham, through Brewster and Orleans, and out to Eastham, Wellfleet, Truro and Provincetown reflects the fact that the Lower Cape constitutes a distinct region that is more rural and sparsely inhabited year-round than the Mid- and Upper-Cape.

CDP’s work starts with creating affordable homes — so essential to a healthy economy, but a real challenge in communities like ours where seasonal and vacation dynamics drive the market beyond the reach of many who live and work locally all year round.

We also work to launch entrepreneurs and strengthen local businesses. We believe a vibrant future depends on sustaining traditional industries and inspiring new ones—especially when they’re based on renewable natural resources such as fishing, farming, art, and hospitality.”

The BLAKELEY FOUNDATION has funded a series of workshops for entrepreneurs put on by CDP personnel with occasional support from SCORE.
