NORTH SMITHFIELD – Town councilors last week said they plan to appoint a nine-member committee to oversee both short- and long-term projects at the former Halliwell Elementary School on Victory Highway.
Newly elected Councilor Stephen Corriveau brought up the request during a meeting on Jan. 5. Corriveau asked Town Solicitor David Igliozzi to draft a resolution for a committee made up of nine members, including one member of the Town Council and one member of the Planning Board.
“I think it’s important that we create a resolution to have a committee for the Halliwell project. I think that a lot of town residents are open to that,” he said.
