From the meeting

Frank Dimascio and the Shriners of Rhode Island Charities Trust sought relief to install an LED message center and build an outdoor patio with covered food and beverage areas at 1 Rhodes Place. The application was listed for November 12, 2026 and the document does not show final action. This is a private site-improvement signal tied to signage and hospitality-related outdoor space.
