The board also approved a new 34-room hotel at 28 Falmouth Heights Road and greenlit solar arrays at Church of the Messiah, while continuing work on town-specific design guidelines for mixed-use districts.
   

• See red-robed performers who crossed the Bourne Bridge during Labor Day traffic (capecodtimes.com) — A Falmouth climate organizer joined the Red Rebel Brigade's slow, silent march across the Bourne Bridge on Friday to reach Labor Day motorists.
