PROVINCETOWN – Business owners foresee a busy season this summer, but pressure is mounting over the lack of reasonably priced housing for staff.
For The Canteen s upcoming summer season, restaurant co-owner Rob Anderson needs to find beds for 25 of the 50 workers he ll need for the summer. .
Anderson knows he s not alone.
If there were forest fires, or oceans flooding, the community would not stop talking about the threats until a solution was found, Anderson said in a popular April 9 Facebook post. “We have a comparable crisis,” he said.
With a shortage of housing to accommodate summertime workers, employers are forced to cut their staffing plans, Anderson said. That, in turn, puts more pressure on those who are employed, he said.

WELLFLEET There is only one contested race on the ballot for the annual town election on June 14 an open three-year seat on the Cemetery Commission.
“I wouldn’t run if I didn’t feel like I had to,” commission candidate Donna Rickman said. Commission incumbent David Agger is also running again, having served on the commission for nine years.
One issue, from Rickman’s perspective, is a cemetery restoration project funded by Community Preservation Act funds by town meeting voters in 2014, 2017 and 2020.
Questions about the ongoing restoration at Pleasant Hill and Duck Creek cemeteries arose around the time of the annual town meeting last September. At that town meeting a majority of the Select Board did not recommend spending the proposed $10,000, which would have made the total money granted around $96,000.
