CUMBERLAND – The town’s insurer has denied claims for damages from five residents whose properties near the new Diamond Hill Road roundabouts were flooded late last November, saying the cause of the flooding was ultimately determined to be an issue under the state roadway.
“After reviewing your claim statement, estimate and photos, we contacted the town of Cumberland to discuss what happened,” read a denial letter from the Rhode Island Interlocal Trust last month to one of the victims. “The town of Cumberland has investigated the cause of the loss and determined that the water backed up due to a blocked culvert under a Rhode Island state road.”
RiceBran Technologies says it plans to move more aggressively into speciality markets, including dietary supplement excipients, to help stem losses. The company has stumbled trying to compete as a high volume food ingredient supplier.
CUMBERLAND – Back in 2017, against the objections of neighbors, the Town Council approved a restaurant use for the former Dancing Pig restaurant property at 48 West Wrentham Road.
Peter Bradley, council president at the time, broke a 3-3 tie based on the fact that liquor would not be served at the new restaurant, later revealed to be Chucky’s Creamery.
Mike Bouthillette, business partners with Chuck Moreau at Chucky s, said back in 2017 that the plan was to reopen the vacant space as a family restaurant with no liquor served, open only for breakfasts and ice cream. He said the applicant would not be back at a later date seeking a liquor use.
