A new building to house the Barnstable County Cape Cod Cooperative Extension tops the list of capital improvement projects discussed by the Barnstable County Board of Regional Commissioners at their regular meeting on Wednesday, January 13.
The Cooperative Extension, a department of the county government that plans and conducts educational programs based on local needs and interests, was operated out of the basement of the Registry of Deeds in the Barnstable County Complex until moving into a leased property in Yarmouth in June 2020.
According to Michael Maguire, the extensionâs director, the lease costs the county approximately $89,000 per year.
Mr. Maguire described continuing the lease to house the department as a âlosing propositionâ for the county, as he expects leasing will become more expensive in the years to come.
