A faster commute. More retail customers. More job opportunities.

These three economic benefits, among others, are projected for the region with the construction of the new Sagamore and Bourne bridges.

“We know it will improve traffic,” said Paul Niedzwiecki, CEO of the Cape Cod Chamber of Commerce and co-chair of the Cape and Islands Bridge Coalition. The bridges will create growth, but no major development, he said.

“It’s about moderating the most intense traffic and building safe and viable bridges,” Niedzwiecki said.

Socioeconomics report on new Cape Cod bridges foresees benefits for the region. But easier access won't make Cape population grow, report says.

A check of more than $129,000 presented to the Alzheimer's Association Massachusetts/New Hampshire Chapter marks the successful conclusion of Volta Oil Company’s 14th annual Purple Pump Up Campaign. During the summer, Garrett's Family Market and Rapid Refill stores spanning Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Rhode Island partnered with the Alzheimer's Association to increase awareness and raise funds to benefit Alzheimer's care, support, and research.

During the campaign, customers visiting any of the participating locations had the opportunity to contribute to the campaign, either at the gas pump or in the stores. Additionally, on June 21 and June 22, in alignment with the Alzheimer's Association's The Longest Day fundraising and awareness initiative, a donation of 5 cents from every gallon of gas sold was allocated to support the Association.

Garrett’s Family Market’s Purple Pump Up is the largest cause marketing campaign of its kind in the New England Region to benefit the Association.
