Seekonk School Building Demolished  

The former School administration building at 69 School Street was demolished on Monday to make room for a possible South End Fire Station.

$400,000 was approved at the November 2024 Town Meeting to pay for the demolition costs.

At last May’s town meeting, Fire Chief Shaun Whalen explained that if the station were to be built, some firefighters would need to be reassigned from the other two stations – the Banna station on Pine Street and the Police/Fire Headquarters on Taunton Avenue. Additional staff would also need to be hired.

Select Board member Gary Sagar, who has been calling for a September town meeting, noted the building would not be completed before a two year period.
