Wickford RI Reboot? Can A Developer Hold True to History
Wickford RI is a historic village within North Kingstown and is cherished and loved by Rhode Islanders and beyond. For years the vacant Wickford elementary school has been vacant with proposal after proposal by developers to reboot this property for multi-use. Nothing has panned out before due to the town council, finances, etc.
Now another developer, Kinnecom, has stepped forward with a $40 million development plan to present to the town for this property. The vision is to make it into an art hotel and conference center and adding a culinary school and condo units too. Good use of a Wickford RI property that has been vacant for far too long one hopes.
Is this a chance for Wickford RI to reboot and does it depend upon the sewers coming down that way? Lots of unanswered questions for voters here who want answers. A presentation to the community is set for September 15 at 5 p.m. at the Beechwood Community Center by the developer. If you have interest and questions be there to ask!
