Preserve Wakefield Elementary land as Community Space


Preserve Wakefield Elementary land as Community Space
The Issue
Say YES to Community Space and NO to Developers!
The Town of South Kingstown plans to sell the Wakefield Elementary School property to developers. We believe this land should remain a resource for the entire community.
This property has the potential to become something truly special for Wakefield — a community center, a splash pad, a revitalized playground, much-needed parking for town events, and even space for a future elementary school as our community grows.
We support affordable housing, but this location is not right for any large-scale development. With the support of voters, local organizations, and donors, this land could be transformed into a lasting benefit for our town.
Once sold, this land is gone forever. Let’s keep the small-town charm of Wakefield and protect this space for generations to come.
We urge town leaders: keep this land in the hands of the community.
