BOURNE The Board of Selectmen and Massachusetts Maritime Academy have entered a Memorandum of Understanding outlining a plan for shared parking, increasing communication regarding the academy s expansion and possible shared office space.
“This has been a long time coming,” Board Chair Judith Froman said at the board s remote meeting Tuesday. “We have worked very, very hard to make sure that the Massachusetts Maritime Academy and the town of Bourne have the same information. We are having conversations to make a difference that benefits both the town and (the academy).”
The three-year agreement allows the town to use MMA parking spaces located on Taylor Road and Kendall Rae Place when the academy is not in session or when the lots are not being used for special events.
