In the midst a detailed, fact-filled draft letter to the US Army Corps from the Sandwich board of selectmen, one sentence dramatically underscored the townâs urgent need for federal help. âOver the last month, four private homes on Spring Hill Beach have toppled onto the beach and been destroyed as drastic erosion continues to place public and private property in peril,â the letter said. It also laid out the history of Sandwichâs plight and gave a clear-eyed look at the future. âAs you know, for more than two decades the Town of Sandwich has been relentless in our pursuit of solutions to address ongoing beach and dune erosion and coastal sustainability issues that have adversely impacted our community, especially at Town Neck Beach,â the letter said.
