Weekly Recap
This week in Pawtucket, we saw a great community in action. We broke ground on the future Pawtucket High School, marking the beginning of a new chapter for public education in our city. With this state-of-the-art learning environment, we are investing in our students and laying the foundation for a stronger future. Projects like this reflect what’s possible when we work together for the next generation.
We also continued to build on the values that make Pawtucket special. At the Second Annual Phoenix Odyssey Business Consortium, the City celebrated the power of second chances. Through mentorship and programs that help people rebuild their lives after incarceration, Pawtucket is showing that transformation and opportunity go hand in hand. That same spirit carried into 390 Pine Street, where a new community space now brings together affordable housing, local businesses, wellness programs, and resources that uplift residents across the city.
This week also brought celebration and service. We kicked off Pine View Little League with big community spirit and honored those stepping into new leadership roles on the Zoning Board of Appeals and the Advisory Commission on Arts and Culture. We commemorated the start of the American Revolution with a powerful reenactment and announced a $250,000 grant to restore the Moshassuck River and strengthen climate resilience. Herb Weiss, Deputy Director of the Pawtucket Senior Center, has had his 45 years of writing and advocacy on aging officially archived at Rhode Island College’s Special Collections.And at long last, we joined Centreville Bank and Rhode Island FC to unveil the new name of the team’s home field: Centreville Bank Stadium.
