The relocation of City Hall to 100 Freight St., formerly Tunstall America, brings that vision into focus, adapting an industrial property to improve public access and support municipal operations.

Neighborhood-Fit Test for Lincoln Variances Has Narrowed, Board Told

The board's legal counsel told members that, under a state change, the neighborhood-character test for dimensional variances now looks only at the specific relief requested, not the whole project. Members questioned whether that leaves room to consider design, and one speaker said it could affect the board's practice of asking for renderings. The issue is expected to come up again when a previously denied application returns.

YOUR VIEW: Canty speech ‘disrespectful, demeaning and judgmental’

Along with other residents of West Plymouth, I attended the Select Board meeting on November 10, 2026. I live very close to the huge 392-apartment, 40B proposal by developer Rick Vayo, which the Select Board summarily voted to approve on a fast track, and to send a prepared Memorandum of Agreement and Support letter to the state housing agency, with no residents of the area present at the meeting.

FM is leaving Johnston for a new headquarters in Providence

PROVIDENCE – FM, the mutual commercial insurance company based in Johnston, will turn its newly bought building in downtown Providence into its headquarters, eventually shuttering its Johnston campus. FM, formerly known as FM Global, announced the move in a news release. FM is renovating multiple floors of the building at 10 Memorial Blvd., across from Providence Place. The building previously had an IGT sign, which was replaced with the FM logo in August. FM paid $68.5 million for the 202,000-square-foot building and a long-term ground lease, the company said in February. The property was part of the Capital Center redevelopment of Providence's former rail yards, and the land is owned by Capital Properties Inc. Brightstar, formerly IGT, will be staying in the building as well, its spokesman said after the announcement of the purchase. The commercial tenants already in the building, including Fidelity and the Capital Grille, will be staying. While officials previously said the building would complement its Johnston campus , now the plan is to shutter the Johnston headquarters and move those operations to Providence. "While Johnston will eventually cease to serve as an FM work location, no decision has been made on the timing of that transition,

Acushnet’s St. Gelais flips seat from Dem to Rep

Last week’s election results took a little bit longer to count than usual. The Neighb News had to go to print with some races and ballot questions still not decided. Now, 99% of the votes are in. Domestic mailed-in ballots postmarked by 11/3 had to be in by 11/6. Ballots mailed from outside the US have until 11/13 to arrive and still be counted. So counting cannot be finished until after then. The results need to be certified by 11/18.
