The Commissioners will also receive a presentation on the inaugural Ripple Effect Awards, an initiative of Barnstable County’s Clean Water Center recognizing individuals who have demonstrated sustained leadership, commitment, and tangible impact in protecting and improving water quality across Cape Cod.
