Tiverton could be home to a proposed ice rink in Rhode Island, to be named the LongPlex Family and Sports Center. Developers presented plans to the Tiverton Planning Board this week, according to the digital edition of the Newport Daily News to add an adjacent building that would house a pair of NHL-complaint sheets of ice for year round public use. 

LongPlex owner Jim Long told Tiverton's planning board that ice time can be hard to obtain, and various schools and colleges have asked about the proposal. Indoor tennis and pickleball courts are part of the proposal as well. The new building would sit on nearly 16 acres.
