‘Major structural issues’ found at NS Police Station
An architectural consultant is currently studying whether the town should build a new police station or renovate the existing location at the former Bushee School.
NORTH SMITHFIELD – An effort to determine whether to save the old North Smithfield Police Station or build a new one is off to a rocky start after a consultant detailed major structural concerns with the existing building to the Municipal Buildings Review Task Force last week.
Jeff McElravy, a principal for Tecton Architects, told members of the Task Force last Thursday, April 22, he foresees “large dollars” associated with fixing the former Bushee School. McElravy participated in a site walk earlier this month with an engineer for the study, a walk he said prompted the engineer to comment the building had “major structural issues.”
