Does everyone think we’ll continue to see sprawl, rather than smart growth?<BR>

The Dept. of Planning and Development begins its use of "charrettes" to get community input on citywide growth, development goals and target areas today.<BR>
<BR>
This is the Providence Tomorrow project we've discussed and anticipated for a long time. The various charrettes take place during the day and evening at 400 Westminster Street - the corner of Empire and Westminster down near Blue Cross. For retro-directionals, that's the old Harris Fur building across from where the original Lupos used to be. There is an article in the ProJo's Metro section this morning with details. I attach the schedule provided by DPD.<BR>
