Overbrook Academy Purchase

 

The Smithfield Town Council releases the following information regarding the purchase of the Overbrook Academy on Austin Avenue.

 As you are aware, the Smithfield Town Council unanimously approved the decision to purchase Overbrook Academy at 60 Austin Avenue at their Council Meeting on Tuesday, April 29, 2025. At that meeting, the Town Council authorized the Town Manager to enter into a purchase and sales agreement with Ocean Pastoral Center, Inc., the owner of the property, pursuant to terms agreed to by both Seller and Buyer. On April 30th, 2025, the Town subsequently became aware of the fact that Seller accepted an offer from another party to purchase the property. The Town subsequently conducted an extensive investigation to ascertain the relevant facts surrounding this matter and is currently evaluating a future course of action.
