PAVING NOTICE

Starting Monday November 4, 2024, T. Miozzi Paving will begin paving Tifft Road and Laurel Lane.  Grange Road and Rocky Hill Rd. will follow these two roads and all four roads should be completed by the end of the week. The work will be done between 7:00 A.M. and 4:00 P.M.

To help expedite this work we respectfully request that you move all vehicles off these roads.   There will be limited access to this area for the entire time Miozzi is working on these roadways. The only traffic will be for emergencies and local (residents) traffic.

We apologize for any inconvenience that this may create, but with your patience and cooperation we can get this work completed as quickly as possible. There will be flaggers assigned to this project.

 Please note that this work could be cancelled without notice due to the weather or other unforeseen circumstances. They will be working on Tuesday (Election Day). If you have any additional questions, please feel free to contact the North Smithfield Highway Division at 767-2200 Extension 348.
 
The FAA is keeping some flights frozen until things get back to normal after the government shutdown ended.

Democrat Congresswoman Adelita Grijalva became the 218th signature on the discharge petition shortly after she was sworn in Wednesday afternoon.        The BBC will apologize to Donald Trump for the editing in a documentary about him but doesn't plan to pay him. Earlier this week, Trump's lawyer threatened to file a billion-dollar lawsuit against the British Broadcasting Corporation for a Trump documentary it aired last year that allegedly had misleading editing. The lawyer demanded an apology, a retraction and damages that "appropriately compensate" Trump.        President Trump is making Paul Ingrassia deputy general counsel at the General Services Administration. The move comes less than a month after Ingrassia withdrew his nomination to lead the Office of Special Counsel for reportedly making racist comments in a group chat. Ingrassia had allegedly said he had a "Nazi streak" and called for the end of Martin Luther King Jr. Day.        The St. Louis-area Boeing strike is over.
