For example, there is a project under way to construct a bike path running through Wareham that would connect Myles Standish State Forest in Carver with the Cape Cod bike path system. Throughout the summer, baseball fans can see the Wareham Gatemen of the Cape Cod Baseball League play at Wareham High School's Spillane Field. The league features some of the best college players from around the country, and Red Sox' Mo Vaughn once played for Wareham. The town is growing, and according to a recent analysis, Wareham can double the number of homes that it has under current zoning restrictions. In preparation for the inevitable population growth, the town has undertaken an ambitious sewer program to ensure that most areas are serviced by the town system.
Programs are also in the works to bring town water to areas without it.
The town has a new high school, recently re-opened two elementary schools, and is planning to build a new middle school in the near future to accommodate the burgeoning population. The town hall is also undergoing renovations to make it more accessible to the handicapped. For people looking for jobs, the town's two industrial parks are constantly expanding, and one company is currently doubling its factory space and in the process of hiring to fill a projected 100 new jobs.
