COMMENTS
Orleans Traffic Court is busy, of course, but they also deal with construction problems. Neighbors want to be notified of construction before someone decides to build on their property. Courts have dealt with some of these issues.
ABOUT THE AREA

The beachs in Orleans are beautiful and have wonderful sunsets throughout the year. Conservation teams have been organized to save some the habitat here from being developed.
