    195 Providence Innovation & Design District

    This Parcel 14/15 building looks like it will be 99% residential with a single small first floor retail space. The residential portion is almost exclusively a near equal mix of studio and one bedroom apartments. What are the target demographics for potential residents? It would seem it is...

    Pawtucket-Central Falls MBTA Commuter Rail Station | Pine and Barton Streets | Pawtucket

    It will be interesting to see the effect here of the reopening of the nearby (<2miles) S Attleboro Station on May 20th. S Attleboro is set to only use the southbound (west) track platform until a new overpass is built. This will limit the number of stops. The station does however provide more...

    Stadium & Riverwalk | Tidewater Landing | Pawtucket

    I think the decision to have all games at Bryant for the first season took some of the urgency off Tidewater Landing. Much of the big work was the site prep and foundation pour. It is all now done and the stand construction can probably proceed quickly once started. They basically now have...

    Elsewhere in New England the South Street Power Station in Providence was converted into educational space a few years ago. The Brown Med School along with the nursing programs of both URI and RIC occupy it. The building underwent an extensive renovation and two new floors were added to its...

    Rhode Island FC plays at Bryant University this season and had an inaugural sold out crowd of 5,252 at Beirne Stadium in Smithfield on 03/16/2024. The team scored a goal in stoppage time to earn a 1-1 draw with New Mexico United in its first ever game. Work was resumed at the Pawtucket...

    MA Liquor Laws

    I believe that another problem with liquor licenses is the consolidation of them in the expensive downtown area to businesses that mainly cater to the wealthy and out of town visitors. There has been a trend over the last several years for outer neighborhood establishments to close and sell...

    Key Bridge Collapses in Baltimore

    The immediate focus should be on the lives of all those that may have been on the bridge when it collapsed. It is believed that not all have yet been accounted for and sonar is showing several vehicles underwater. After all rescue and recovery activity is completed, the focus will be...

    Greendale Redevelopment Initiative - Saint-Gobain Site | Worcester

    I believe that the Abby Kelly Foster Middle School building at 10 New Bond street may have once been the Heald Machine Co. It made grinding machines and was eventually bought by Cincinnati Milacron in 1974. It was closed in 1992. I toured this facility in the mid 1980's when a student at WPI...

    Developer seeks to build 'tiny apartments' in Providence

    The developers have already scaled back this project due to neighborhood blowback. They then presented their revised plans at a recent public forum where they encountered continued NIMBY opposition. Would not be surprised that many of these same people often complain of about the...
