Public Policy And Advocacy

Engagement in public policy and the lawmaking process is an important part of how the Chamber supports its members. If you are doing business on Cape Cod, the Cape Cod Chamber of Commerce is your voice in government. As the Cape’s only regional business advocacy organization, we address issues of concern to your business on the local, state and federal levels. We work to ensure that government considers Cape business objectives and viewpoints, keep members informed on pressing issues, and coordinate political action as bills move through legislative bodies. 

The Cape region's greatest economic threats include: clean and healthy water resources, cross-canal transportation access, and adequate workforce housing. The region’s greatest economic opportunities include: full realization of the Blue Economy, quality public and private education, a top tier healthcare system and “healthiest communities” designation, and a strong entrepreneurial spirit.

  • A resilient economy and environment
  • Healthy and responsible economic growth
  • Livable communities for our workforce
  • Attractive communities for our visitors

Our Work

Blue Economy

The mission of the Cape Cod Blue Economy Foundation is to grow the region’s economy in a sustainable and balanced way, focusing on protecting and promoting our water and coastal resources. 

Blue Economy

Sustainable Tourism

Tourism is Massachusetts' third-largest industry, generating a $69 billion in economic impact and $16 billion in direct spending. It also provides $1.2 billion in state and local tax revenue and employs 376,000 workers directly.

Tourism

Business Climate

Cape Cod is predominantly a small business region, with 95% of businesses having fewer than 20 employees and 65% having fewer than five. Regulatory compliance burdens hinder productivity and increase the cost of doing business.

Housing, Childcare, & Livability

The Housing to Protect Cape Cod initiative was launched by Housing Assistance Corporation, CCIAOR®, the Cape Cod Chamber of Commerce, CapeBuilt Companies, and the Homebuilders and Remodelers of Cape Cod.

Housing

Energy & Environment

The Cape Cod Chamber of Commerce supports a balanced, stable and reliable energy portfolio for the Commonwealth that is cost-competitive, environmentally responsible and supports the resiliency of coastal regions.

Transportation

As a man-made island connected by two roadways and a rail line, constricted transportation access to and from the mainland is one of our greatest economic threats.
