📰 News we're reading

• Jamestown Zoning Board Delays Walcott Avenue Propane Tank (upriseri.com) — Jamestown's zoning board has delayed a decision on a Walcott Avenue homeowner's request for a nearly 2,000-gallon underground propane tank, far above the town's 1,100-gallon limit. Members want a legal opinion on whether such underground tanks are even allowed in that district before ruling, so the application and new board procedures will return at the next meeting.
   

• North Kingstown High Tennis Courts Unusable, Bid Urged (upriseri.com) — With North Kingstown High's damaged tennis courts sidelined, all girls' home matches are now being played on school courts in Jamestown, with boys' matches likely to follow in spring. The district is weighing a $400,000–$500,000 replacement project, facing questions about long-term maintenance, safety, and how quickly to seek bids and funding.
