“Tonight, the council decided to continue the discussion on the ProvPort resolution authorizing a lease extension and bond but will table the ordinance establishing a tax exemption until the next council term, said Councilman Espinal. “The voices and concerns of my neighbors were heard and should be included in this important process as we move forward toward a solution.”
The legislation in front of the council is a proposed 30-year tax exemption agreement and lease extension for ProvPort, Inc., an operator of the Port of Providence on the city’s south side. The ordinance establishing a tax exemption agreement for ProvPort can be found here. The resolution authorizing a lease extension and bond for ProvPort can be found here.
