The former weathered brown-shingled townhouses originally built in 1989 underwent a nearly $1 million renovation, spearheaded by the SHA (Sandwich Housing Authority) and the Sandwich CPC (Community Preservation Committee). The renovations were completed in mid-June.   (Click to Continue)

“As you can see it came out beautifully,” Tobin Wirt, vice chairman of the Sandwich Housing Authority, said Thursday during a ribbon-cutting at the property.
