Imagine calling your local police department for an emergency and the dispatcher responds that the arrival of an officer could take a while because of a staff shortage.
NARRAGANSETT â Town officials are concerned that a $17 million bond approved in 2012 will not be enough to complete the renovation and reconstruction of a number of roads originally slated for the project, estimating that a total of about $25 million will be needed.
âThe $17 million is not going to rebuild all of the roadways that were listed,â said Narragansett Department of Public Works Director (DPW) Mike DiCicco. âI think it was about $25 million that will have covered everything. Weâre going to be able to finish a good chunk of the roads but weâll have to regroup and figure out what weâre going to do to go after the rest of them at some point.â
