We have reached 3388 Signatures that support a Viable Mixed-Use Development for Galilee. Thank you to everyone who put signed the online petition. I know it's been a while since I posted an update, but I wanted to keep everyone posted. The Lighthouse Inn is still abandoned and neglected. The RIDEM noted it will be having the property inspected to see if any of it is salvageable. Let us see if and when that will be scheduled. I feel the Town should hire out its own inspector. Let us not forget the RIDEM previously recommended the State pay for the demolition of the building even though Procaccianti and Paolino intentionally abandoned the property. If it was you or I who did this to our property, we would be cited, fined, and possibly arrested. Also, as far as we know, Procaccianti and Paolino are still operating parking lots illegally as they are being operated in total disregard and violation to our Town's Zoning Ordinances, and there is no parking lot lease that has been authorized by the RIDEM or approved by the State Properties Committee. The former lease between Procaccianti and Paolino has expired, and a new lease has not been signed or approved. Our new Town Council President, Dr. Ewa Dzwierzynski to her credit, has been the most proactive Town Council member fighting against this GROSS abuse of power by a State Agency and a Billion Dollar Developer. Dr. Ewa Dzwierzynski and former Council member, Patrick Murray were proactive by putting forth a motion and getting it approved that the University of Rhode Island conduct an updated research study for Galilee. The research study that is being led by Dr. Will Green and Professional Landscape Architect Charles Cardberry will be completed by December. Let us hope this needed research study will not fall on deaf ears. I will continue to stay on top of this issue. Ironically, some politicians have made excuses for the RIDEM Director, Procaccianti, and Paolino for their gross negligence and total disregard to our Town's Ordinances, let us hope our new Town Council will fight for Galilee. I am hoping to see some type of Motion at the next Town Council meeting agenda that orders the Town Solicitor to take action against any parking lot operator who has failed to apply for a Special Use Permit. If our Town Council fails to motion to our Town Council to take action against any parking lot operator that is in violation to our Town's Ordinances, then we cannot blame our Town Solicitors, but the blame would fall on our newly elected Town Council Members. I would also recommend our Town Council Members reach out to our newly elected Senators and Representatives and have them advocate for our fight for Galilee. I had a Senator tell me she would take no action to fight for Galilee unless the Narragansett Town Council reaches out to her to take action. If I was on the Narragansett Town Council, I would write to each of our Senators and Representatives, to tell them to do everything in their power to reach out to the Governor and direct him to take action for the RIDEM to reconsider the Town of Narragansett's mixed use development proposal with modifications as needed based on the forthcoming University of Rhode Island Research Study that will be released in the near future. Sadly, the RIDEM threw out in its entirety the mixed-use proposal proposed by the Town of Narragansett without asking the town to make modifications as needed, so it would be in the best interest of the State, the Town, and the Commerical Fishermen.
