We look forward to working collaboratively with the I-195 Redevelopment District Commission and the selected developer, Urbanica, to ensure design excellence and sensitivity to our wonderful neighborhood(s). We wish the developers the best of luck and look forward to the housing and economic opportunities that this will provide to Ward 1 and the City of Providence,” said Councilman Goncalves.
