PROVINCETOWN — All existing staff members
of the harbormaster’s office and Provincetown Public Pier Corp. were rehired
this week, and three of four newly created positions were filled. The Pier
Corp., the quasi-public entity created to manage MacMillan Pier, took over
management of the town’s Marine Dept. in spring at the behest of the Board of
Selectmen, and as part of that transition it made all staff reapply for their
jobs and undergo extensive interviews.

MacMillan
Pier wins $500,000 grant By Pru Sowers Banner
Correspondent
PROVINCETOWN — The transformation of MacMillan Pier from a
“flat deck” to the “gateway to Provincetown” got a boost this week when the town
was awarded a substantial state grant. The Massachusetts Executive Office of
Transportation approved a grant request of $375,000 to build a series of
passenger shelters, public restrooms and ferry crew facilities at the end of the
pier. This grant is being boosted with a $100,000 grant for in-kind services
from the town and an additional $25,000 grant from the Cape Cod National
Seashore.
