COVENTRY, R.I. -- Superior Court Judge Brian P. Stern will hold a hearing Friday at 1:30 p.m. at the Kent County Court House in Warwick to discuss the Central Coventry Fire District.
The fire district, which provides fire and emergency service for 18,000 people, has been in receivership since October.
Tuesday night, voters in the district rejected a revised budget by a vote of 1,357 to 484.
Stern has authorized Special Master Richard Land to liquidate the district in the event the budget was rejected.
The time of the hearing was changed from 10 a.m. This item was first posted at 12:13 p.m.
