Providence Port Salt Storage Lease
At a glance
- What: DPW's lease of salt-storage land from ProvPort, being amended for a larger footprint at a somewhat higher cost.
- Where it stands: per DPW, the amendment went to the Board of Contract and Supply and is expected to be referred to the Special Committee on Ways and Means (not yet confirmed in the record).
- Next: committee referral and vote; DPW says the pile will be covered this winter and is discussing buying a covering structure.
Details
- Storage had been an informal arrangement on land the owner needed back; the pile has not been covered before and clumps when exposed.
- Other storage sites are hard to find; DPW also keeps a satellite pile near Obadiah Brown.
