Keep in mind that Sweetbriar is a Limited Partnership controlled by a corporation that can turn around and sell the development to any private investor for a profit at any time.

Sweetbriar does not serve the Town of Barrington in any meaningful way.

In 2012, the 40 year old affordable housing development, Kent Farm in East Providence, was sold to a private investment company for $19.85 million. There is still 9 years remaining on the "deed restrictions".

The residents of East Providence were subsidizing that development as well when the Kargman family sold the place.
