Erosion puts the Sandwich [a town, not food] on the edge

The town Sandwich in MA is being threatened by swirling sea water. The town's recently rebuilt dunes have been washed away, the flood have already cause route 6A's partial closure and wrecked several homes. Authorities have condemned a dozen seaside homes now. Millions of dollars are at risk, so is the historical oldest downtown of Cape Code. About $335 million in property along the beach and marsh, worth about $4.6 million in tax revenue, is at risk, she said. Not only homes are threatened, so is the town, the authorities are trying to get federal funds, and getting sand. The town desperately need money for anything, short term plan, research or long term plan.
