<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.
