Under Ron Bergstrom's leadership, Barnstable County is as proactive and financially sound as it has been since the current county charter was enacted in1989. By empowering and encouraging county administration and staff in their efforts to improve the wellbeing of all Cape Codders, he has led the effort to make Barnstable County a force for positive change.
In Commissioner Bergstrom's first term, the county accessed more than $1,700,000 in state and federal grants to study the effects of global warming and mitigate the threat to Cape Cod from rising sea levels.
