CHATHAM – The Monomoy National Wildlife Refuge has a new home after losing its headquarters and visitor center on Morris Island in Chatham to erosion last year.
The organization bought a building at 791 Main Street to serve as its new HQ and visitor center.
The building contains living space as well which will provide housing for some staff.
The previous center was demolished after encroaching tides endangered the building.
The federal wildlife refuge was established in 1944.
Two years ago, the National Weather Service had to close its balloon-launching station because of erosion, as well.
