First Selectman Fred Camillo said the town is working diligently to replace the rink, but they need to follow the proper process. Municipal Improvement status, commonly referred to as “MI,” is granted by the Planning and Zoning Commission. The Department of Public Works started presenting its rink replacement plan to the commission last year, but has not yet received MI. There are no rink replacement funds in the fiscal year 2024-2025 budget request, but there is $980,000 listed in the 2025-26 budget, which would be for architectural and engineering planning. Once MI is granted, the project will move to the Board of Selectmen for approval. Camillo said that could happen within the next month or so. Camillo previously helped secure a $5 million donation from residents Steven and Alexandra Cohen to help fund construction of the Cohen Eastern Greenwich Civic Center, which will open to the public later this year.
