Agreed. Plus there are even more open parcels still available that could be used for housing

Disagree. It is a park and a low rise small building makes sense there.

All the exterior walls and windows are in and just needs outside cladding. Building is buttoned up for continued interior work during the upcoming winter months. 10-06-2024 photo

Much of the 195 Park is now fenced off with prep work on the pavilion taking place.

There is already an existing location further south 12 miles down Rte 1 in S Attleboro that has been in operation for several years.

The 1011 Newport Ave property was originally built in 1950 as an A&P supermarket. I used to go there with my parents on shopping trips when I was very young. It was later bought by Hasbro and renovated to hold the executive offices with most of the staff being next door at the much larger...

Pawtucket's pitch to keep Hasbro in the city looks like it will be focused on potential sites along the river by Rte 95 that were to be part of the overall Tidewater Landing development. All of the possible parcels are presently owned by the city which would help facilitate the process. The...

Hasbro leaving Pawtucket would be another big blow to the city. It already lost 100+ year old Memorial Hospital after Care New England deliberately sabotaged the facility ( moved many procedures to its other local hospitals and then used falling patient numbers as justification. For closure)...

Keep in mind this is not just for the train passengers. It will be used by RIPTA riders and its employees as well as the Pawtucket bus transfer hub is located there.

WPI has closed on the hotels. It paid $46m for the two properties. They will eventually be turned into student housing in the coming years. www.telegram.com/story/business/2024/09/16/wpi-finalizes-worcester-hotel-purchase/75250114007/

The new Pawtucket Transit Center passenger facility will feature public restrooms, driver restrooms and break room, a waiting area with seating and real-time passenger information screens, and a Pawtucket Police sub-station and security office. RIPTA will also have a staffed customer service...

I would not be surprised to see the stadium eventually become the permanent home for Brown Football. Brown Stadium is very old with few modern amenities. It is off campus on the East Side of Providence about 1.5 miles from the main quad. Tidewater Landing is just another 1.5 miles further...

This project got City Council tax relief approval and appears to be close to getting started with an October groundbreaking planned. It had looked for some time that this project may have been dead given it was first proposed several years ago. Glad to see that it very much appears to be going...

They were originally privately owned before Clark purchased them. It is the exact same scenario.

Meanwhile in the Main South neighborhood, Clark University is about to demolish two older structures in order to construct an entirely new building. They will do so with little to no opposition from city leaders.

This WPI campus map shows the two hotels which are located on the block bounded by Grove, Prescott, Faraday, and Concord Streets (top right corner). Note that there are already five WPI structures that presently surround the hotels. One of these is Faraday Hall, a dorm residence.

It is very hypocritical for city leaders to express outrage given they happily donated over $100M in public funds toward the construction of Polar Park for the benefit of the team's wealthy owners. WPI contributes far more benefits to the city than a minor league baseball team.
