Providence Public Safety Complex Auditorium
Next Tuesday’s meeting could be an important one for anyone concerned with development west of I-95.
This meeting is being held by Councilman John Lombardi, Senator Paul V. Jabour, Representative Steven M. Costantino, Providence Department of Public Works, and the Rhode Island Department of Transportation.
