Johnston voters rejected eminent domain plan. Town says fight isn't over

JOHNSTON – On Nov. 3, voters in Johnston rejected a ballot measure to amend the town's charter to create a coherent pathway to exercise eminent domain, in response to a federal judge's rejection of attempts to take land slated for an income-restricted apartment complex. Despite that rejection, the Town Council president said the council will be going forward with plans to use eminent domain to take the 31-acre site off of George Waterman Road , relying on an alternative method following the defeat of the charter amendment at the ballot box. U.S. District Judge Melissa DuBose ruled that the town's attempt to take property via its charter doesn't work, because the charter doesn't have sufficient provisions to pass constitutional muster, in an ongoing lawsuit filed by the property owners against the town, which the owners' lawyers call a "sham taking." The ballot initiative failed, 54% to 46%, or 4,761 votes against to 4,090 votes for, according to unofficial vote counts. In Johnston, 9,894 people voted , 41% of the 24,015 registered voters. What Johnston needs, either in its charter or for another process, per the federal judge who rejected the initial eminent domain efforts following a lawsuit by the site

Warren Floats Selling Town Buildings to Buy Old Guard Site

Warren could buy the former National Guard building on Market Street by matching a $610,000 auction bid. Officials said the town's 30-day window is expected to open after a state board meets Nov. 24. The new council, set to be sworn in next month, would make the call. Ideas discussed included selling the Main Street building that houses Head Start, possibly to the program's operator for housing and the program, and eventually selling the Miller Street rescue station. Officials said a $2 million grant is a reimbursement for a rescue station, not cash in hand. No vote was taken.

Cranston Planners Oppose Grant Avenue Homes, Split on Rockwood Avenue

Owners seeking to build on undersized lots on Grant Avenue head to the Zoning Board of Review with negative Plan Commission recommendations, and a positive recommendation failed on one Rockwood Avenue request. Planning staff had recommended approval, arguing older neighborhoods like Thornton were built on 4,000-square-foot lots. Commissioners said the projects would exceed density on the city's future land use map. A positive recommendation on one Rockwood request failed two to three, and negative recommendations on both Grant Avenue requests passed by voice vote. The Zoning Board makes the final decision.
