This plan builds off the $20 million in repairs made last spring and summer to critical infrastructure and works toward Mayor Elorza’s 2017 commitment to invest $400 million in school spaces over the next decade. If necessary, the City will submit an additional “Necessity of School Construction” application for a Spring 2021 approval.

The approximately seven-acre site located at 21 Peace Street consists of multiple buildings, with about half of them being donated to the City at a value of more than $7 million. The donated property includes the East Building, the Chapel and the northern parking lot, which will be reimagined as learning spaces and utilized for parking as well as recreation by the new school. The City has budgeted $75 million towards improvements of this facility in the School Capital Plan.</span><span style="font-family: New serif; color: rgb(33, 33, 33);"></span></font></p><p class="ydp1c55f09fyiv5879155050xmsonormal" style="margin-right: 0in; margin-left: 0in; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><font size="2"><span style="color: black;">"Serving as the Mayor of Providence was the greatest honor of my life.

This donation will provide our kids with a state-of-the-art facility where they can learn and thrive, and it will transform Broad Street forever.

Elorza today announced the Providence Business Loan Fund received $836,000 in additional resources from the Economic Development Administration through the CARES Act Recovery Assistance grant program to administer emergency loans for local small businesses affected by COVID-19. To date, the Providence Business Loan Fund has approved over $1.4 million in emergency loans to 23 local businesses including 17 minority- and women-owned.</p><p class="ydp1c55f09fyiv5879155050MsoNormal"> </p><p class="ydp1c55f09fyiv5879155050MsoNormal">“Providence is a resourceful, resilient City and we are committed to providing relief to our local business community,” said Mayor Jorge O. Elorza. “While we have much more work ahead to navigate the economic impacts of COVID-19, I am encouraged by the positive impact that PBLF funding is having on our residents and business owners.”</p><p class="ydp1c55f09fyiv5879155050MsoNormal"> </p><p class="ydp1c55f09fyiv5879155050MsoNormal">In April, the City of Providence announced a series of resources to help local businesses impacted by the public health crisis, including $1.5 million dollars in funding available through PBLF.

Notable recent recipients include Farm Fresh Rhode Island, Yolenis, and Viva Mexico. While the fund typically offers secure loans from $50,000 to $500,000, businesses can apply for emergency loans that start at $10,000. New loan recipients also receive closing costs capped at $500, zero interest for up to 12 months, and deferred loan payments for 6-12 months. Funding from the Economic Development Administration will further support the PBLF’s emergency loan program by providing immediate access to capital for Providence-based businesses.</p><p class="ydp1c55f09fyiv5879155050MsoNormal"> </p><p class="ydp1c55f09fyiv5879155050MsoNormal">City Council President Sabina Matos stated, “My colleagues and I continue to receive phone calls from small businesses in our neighborhoods who are continuing to struggle to make ends meet. We are hopeful that these additional funds from the EDA, coupled with the City Council and Providence Revolving Fund micro-loan program, will supply additional aid and help keep these micro- businesses afloat while they continue to work towards rebuilding.” </p><p class="ydp1c55f09fyiv5879155050MsoNormal"> </p><p class="ydp1c55f09fyiv5879155050MsoNormal">Businesses interested in learning more about PBLF emergency loans—including eligibility requirements—should visit <a href="http://www.providencebusinessloanfund.com/" style="color: blue; text-decoration-line: underline;" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><span style="color: rgb(5, 99, 193);">providencebusinessloanfund.com</span></a>, or contact PBLF Director Tom Hoagland by calling 401-680-8412.

While these e-mails contain a lot of information, I send these out to keep neighbors in our Ward informed and ultimately hope that this information is helpful to you! <br>
<br>
<strong>As always, please do not hesitate to reach out if I can ever be of any assistance or help to you. </strong><br>
<br>
Know a neighbor who'd like to receive these updates? <a href="https://johnforward1.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=627d403ab5671dae64834341c&id=a3a20cf393&e=33715a1852" style="color: rgb(109, 198, 221); font-weight: normal; text-decoration: underline;" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Sign up here.</a> Please encourage neighbors to sign up and subscribe so they can also be in the loop.

<br>
Are you or someone you know an experienced gardener that can assist with maintaining our local elementary school garden? Ellen Lynch, a former retired teacher of Vartan Gregorian has been so graciously maintaining the garden weekly despite a long commute from Westerly. As such, we're looking for a local volunteer who may be willing to check on/water the garden weekly. This would make a huge difference in ensuring that our children can see a garden that is beautiful and maintained while honoring the wonderful Maureen Kenner, a thirty-five-year educator in Providence, who I was blessed to know for decades, and who served as a vital influence at the Vartan Gregorian Elementary School at Fox Point, working tirelessly as a mentor and active participant for the betterment of all children and their families before losing her life to cancer in 2017. Maureen was a beautiful soul and may her soul rest in peace. <br>
<br>
If you or someone you know may be interested in this opportunity, please respond to this e-mail. Thank you so much. </span></span>

<span style="font-size:18px;"><span style="font-family:arial, helvetica neue, helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong>Kennedy Plaza - Bus Proposal in Ward 1</strong></span></span>
<p dir="ltr" style="font-family:Sans sans-serif;font-size:16px;line-height:125%;margin:1em 0;padding:0;color:#606060;text-align:left;">While I'm not happy with the status quo in Kennedy Plaza and will continue to advocate for further beautifying the area for Downtown residents, in solidarity with the Rhode Island Transit Riders, GrowSmart, the Jewelry District, and RIPTA riders, we're urging the Rhode Island Department of Transportation (RIDOT) to change their current bus proposal plans for Downtown Providence as they currently stand.<br>
<br>
You can also watch Grow Smart RI’s John Flaherty discuss the issue with GoLocalProv <a href="https://johnforward1.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=627d403ab5671dae64834341c&id=4d697ebf4e&e=33715a1852" style="color: rgb(109, 198, 221); font-weight: normal; text-decoration: underline;" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">here</a><br>
<br>
Or read this Projo article <a href="https://johnforward1.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=627d403ab5671dae64834341c&id=4490ab745c&e=33715a1852" style="color: rgb(109, 198, 221); font-weight: normal; text-decoration: underline;" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">here</a>. <br>
<br>
Significant concerns have been expressed about RIDOT's proposed Dyer Street/Innovation District hub in Ward 1. Additionally, the plans as it stands will disproportionately inconvenience low-income communities, seniors, and persons with disabilities. This system, if not rectified, can lead to additional transfers for transit riders, adding to the stress of their commutes and also endangering the accessibility of public transit for RIPTA riders.</p>
<p dir="ltr" style="font-family:Sans sans-serif;font-size:16px;line-height:125%;margin:1em 0;padding:0;color:#606060;text-align:left;">Everyday RIPTA riders depend on the bus system to go to work, buy groceries, or get them where they need to go, and the bus system plays an integral role in their day to day lives. Any plans to rearrange the system should be made with the utmost attention to the needs of all riders. These current plans do not take everyday riders into consideration and will only serve to further complicate their commutes to school or work. <br>
<br>
I want to thank my colleagues Helen Anthony and Nirva Lafortune for their partnership in submitting a resolution in opposition to the plan as it stands at tonight's City Council meeting and I want to thank all the advocates urging the Rhode Island Department of Transportation to reconsider their current plans and determine a better solution for all stakeholders involved. </p>

<br>
Whether you're a tenant, business owner, landlord, or someone who would like to educate neighbors/give out these magnets to promote environmentally sustainable practices, please reach out with your address and the # of magnets you would like to claim. The goal is to distribute all 1000 of them so please reach out! <br>
<br>
There are many benefits to spreading the word. Trees and water are saved by recycling, less oil and other natural resources are used to recycle materials in lieu of using new materials, and less waste is being sent to a landfill lessening the need to expand landfills. Let's all do our part in moving towards a more environmentally sustainable Ward and City. </span></span></p>

<br>
Among much-needed repairs and improvements to schools across the entire city, this bond would allow for over $5 million in student-centric investments to Vartan Gregorian/Fox Point Elementary School (also my grade school alma mater!) in our Ward in the coming years. I hope that you will vote "yes" for this measure in November. <br>

Over the last few months, I have gotten hundreds of calls and e-mails from community members in Ward about policing ahead of city budget discussions. <strong>I continue to hear all of you, loud and clear, and it’s my responsibility to make sure that all of your voices are being heard with gravity. Regardless of where on the spectrum you stand on this issue. Please know that I'm ready to listen without judgment, and please fill out our community safety and law enforcement survey after reading my call for unity letter, where I denounce the demonization of all police but also acknowledge the history of policing in our country.<br>
<br>

<br>
The discussions must continue and a lot of work needs to be done. As such, during our last socially-distanced community meeting, we discussed public safety issues in the Ward and provided direct feedback to officers about how they could work to better serve our community. Thank you to all who participated and thank you to Sergeant Roberson and Officer Waters for listening to neighborhood concerns.<br>
<br>
If you would like to participate in our future community meetings, please let me know. An announcement about a future community meeting is forthcoming. </p>
