Use: The historic North Kingstown Town Hall, first built in 1888 in the town’s Wickford village, received a long-awaited refurbishment and construction of a new two-story addition. Town operations initially vacated the building in 2016 due to the structure having several major code violations. Most town offices were moved to a municipal building at 100 Fairway Drive. Construction and refurbishing began in June 2021, and the project was completed in September 2022. Along with new offices, the renovated town hall also has a new state-of-the-art Town Council chambers room on the second floor to hold town meetings.
