Looking at the many rehabilitative efforts of an old Capitol City that has been making enormous progress over the last two(2) decades, is a signature of progress of yesterday’s and today’s architectural revival.

Looking at the specifics of Kennedy Plaza as a mini-hub to the central element of the Business District and, the uni-village apportionment that was contemplated by the recent communal planning session coordinated with PPS, is a tremendous step toward a closer look into the institutional development of its urban-setting, “citizenry city”.

Here in a nearby , much smaller township in West Warwick, whereby a sooner-or-later approach has been taken on a few of the centuries old mill restoration projects (via the sanctity of both federal *& state histroic tax crdits)along Rhode Island’s longest waterway, the Pawtuxet River, will be a sound and necessary mark of retro-progress that was sorely missing for many years.

The Kent County Junior Chamber or JAYCEES, have been proud to be a strong advocate of further enhancing the entire area with an emphasis to ecological and historical preservation and economic productivity that needs the guidance, input and commentary of citizens that care about the quality of life and sound pragmatic infrastructure development.

The award-winning JAYCEE Corridor & Arboretum is a model of how young people with a strong volunteer spirit of community, can actually lead the way from riverbank to curbside appeal in bringing municipal and state leaders together that coordinates a true partnership of public circles and private sector commitments.

We look forward to interacting with the plethora of PPS staff, members and supporters.
