Narragansett Town Council - Oct 5, 2026
The Barge at 144 Boon Street wants to serve breakfast until 2 a.m., but neighbors say the area already suffers from noise, parking shortages, and unruly crowds from Boone Street Market. The council continued the application to get more detail on parking, loitering, and hours.

Planning Board - May 19, 2026
The Boon Street Market expansion case was pushed to July 21 because the town's attorney questions whether the right kind of zoning relief was sought. If the application changes, it would need fresh public notice.
Planning Board - Mar 17, 2026
The live music and events venue planned at 145 Boon Street hit another delay — the applicant's lawyer waited until 4:31 p.m. the day of the meeting to ask for a continuance over fire marshal sound-curtain questions, frustrating residents who showed up to speak. The board moved the hearing to May 19 and warned it won't tolerate a third delay.
