The South Kingstown Town Council convened on October 28, 2024, to discuss significant developments regarding the Old Tower Hill Road neighborhood plan. The meeting began with an introduction to the ongoing efforts in the area, highlighting a transition period that took place in July, during which the council engaged in extensive discussions and design work over the summer.

Jason King, a principal with Able City East, presented the findings and future plans for the neighborhood. He outlined the collaborative efforts that led to the current stage of the project, emphasizing the importance of community input and staff collaboration in refining the neighborhood plan.

King's presentation was structured in two parts: first, an overview of the Old Tower Hill Road plan, followed by a discussion on the implementation of that plan, which includes proposed changes to land development regulations. He encouraged an interactive session, inviting council members to ask questions throughout the presentation to foster a workshop-like atmosphere.

The council's engagement with the neighborhood plan reflects a commitment to revitalizing the area and ensuring that development aligns with community needs and expectations. As discussions progressed, council members expressed their interest in the details of the proposed changes and their potential impact on the community.

The meeting concluded with a clear focus on the next steps for the Old Tower Hill Road project, setting the stage for further discussions and decisions in upcoming council meetings. The council aims to ensure that the redevelopment efforts are well-informed and beneficial to the residents of South Kingstown.
