[Summit] Trucking Center on Providence/Pawtucket Line

[Greg Gerritt]

The folks in Pawtucket need to step up on this one as they do not pay much attention to folks in providence.  I have included the City Councilor for this district in Pawtucket, Clovis Gregor, in this email as he is quoted in the article and has indicated interest.  And there is an active Osprey nest on  the Morley field site.  Greg gerritt

    Okay, the proposed trucking center just of Main Street is way worse than I had imagined! Not only are they hoping to build a trucking center with inadequate infrastructure changes, now I learn they are moving contaminated soil and trying to close and sell the only park in the city district.

    I’ll be contacting anyone and everyone I can think of to have this project reviewed, planned, and executed properly. 

    Please, if you’re concerned, contact anyone you can think of to get this thing slowed down (at a minimum).

The city of Providence is finally taking an interest in North Main St; the report is available at https://www.providenceri.gov/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/NMS-Final-Report-20220615.pdf
