City Council to Vote on Mile of History Project, WaterFire Lease Agreement, and a Working Group to Review Enforcement of Ordinances Related to Nightlife

Nov 19, 2025

Tomorrow, November 20 at 6 p.m., Providence City Council will convene for a full meeting in the Council Chamber on the third floor of City Hall. Press and the public are invited to attend.

After being voted out of the Committee on Finance with a recommendation to pass earlier this month, councilors will vote on the City’s lease of the WaterFire Arts Center back to WaterFire Providence and an ordinance supporting the Mile of History project, which authorizes financing to restore sidewalks along and adjacent to Benefit Street.

Councilors will also vote on a resolution, introduced by Council President Rachel Miller, establishing a working group to review how ordinances related to nightlife are enforced and offer recommendations.

At Thursday’s meeting, City Council members will also debut a host of upgrades to the Council Chamber to make meetings more transparent and accessible.
