Moreover, Peter and Pam Barbey of Hyannis Port donated $10 million from the Edwin Barbey Charitable Trust for the project. Barbey said the tower is part of building up downtown Hyannis, and the whole region will feel the social and economic effects. “That’s the point I think Cape Cod is at. It’s a world-famous summertime community, but it’s a real community, and I think that having a top-quality hospital is essential to that.”
Barbey said his late father would’ve been proud of the project and that Cape Cod was his favorite place. Further, “he wanted the family to continue giving back to the community.”
The Cape Code Healthcare New Tower is going to be completed in 2025. Additionally, the tree and the flag placed on the last beam seen in the picture above are tradition for construction projects when they’re introduced to the public.
