Elmasian Volunteers for Medeiros Farm Committee

Seekonk Select Board member Elizabeth Elmasian has expressed her interest in serving on the Medeiros Farm Committee.

The Board voted Wednesday to send notice to Justin Sullivan, the board’s current representative on the committee, about his potential removal.

The current members of the committee include Willit Mason, Nathan Socha, Andrea Rosseter, Nicole LeMay, Paul Medeiros, and David Sullivan, Jr. 

At the May 2023 Town Meeting, $150,000 was appropriated from the Community Preservation Fund to hire a consultant to develop a master plan for the Medeiros Farm at Elm Street and Lincoln Street. A seven-member committee was appointed to oversee the project. David Sullivan is the Chairman. Sullivan also serves as Chairman of the town’s Planning Board. The other members all represent other town committees.

The Medeiros Farm Recreation and Park Master Plan outlined four objectives: active recreation, passive recreation, historic preservation, and a Community Park.

Residents from Elm Street and Lincoln Street expressed their opposition to having soccer fields in their neighborhood. They cited traffic and safety concerns.

Two citizens’ petition articles were placed on the November 2025 Town Meeting warrant. One article was to rescind $825,000 in funding already appropriated for the project. The other was to rescind the appointment of the Medeiros Farm Committee itself. Both articles failed.
