WOONSOCKET – In a clear airing of their views on the subject, a majority of Woonsocket School Committee members last week said they have no interest in Mayor Lisa Baldelli-Hunt’s proposal to develop Barry Field.
The conversation took place during a School Committee meeting last Wednesday, Feb. 10, just one week after members discussed the subject in closed session. Chairman Paul Bourget asked members to each share their opinion on the issue. He’s made his own views clear in previous comments and repeated them again last week.
“The one thing that the city has, it has plenty of parks, but it doesn’t have much open land,” he said, adding he’d say no to the project if asked today.
