Senate Bill June 2011
Approved and amended to Industrial Property Remediation and Reuse Act. RI. Senator Juan M. Pichardo sponsored legislation to make it more difficult for contaminated sites to be used for the construction of school buildings.
Requires a public hearing when a school is proposed to be built on a former industrial, manufacturing or landfill site.
Quick Facts
Built: 2007
Site: Soil contaminated & industrial pollutants
Architects: Edward Rowse
Sq. Footage: 82,000
Accommodation: 450 students
Cost: $14,500,000
Background
City needed to find a space for 550 high school students immediately. Construction was delayed by court hearings involving Department of Environmental Management approval and by strong opposition from community members. Residents cite traffic, noise, that the entrance is planned for a residential street and contamination as their concerns. Initially, construction was fast-tracked due to immediate need. Tried to approve construction without DEM approval; it was quickly thwarted when DEM issued a cease-and-desist order until a remediation plan was approved.

Greg Simpson: I would say the relationship has changed, you know like many relationships. There's ups and downs. I think you know, when I first got involved, when I first joined Textron, the site was very quiet.
But when the school went in that's when, you know, at least we sensed that there was this perception out there that Textron and the city, we had to do a better job. And you know, I think you know, those first few meetings that we went to was, I wouldn't say confrontational, but it was, you know, it was a, a little stressful I think for all parties involved because people weren't happy. They were upset. And I think a lot of that had to do with the fact that they didn't understand you know, a lot of the history.
Individuals are not, you know, I would say, you know, ecstatic about Textron, but I think that they can see that you know, when we’re out there, when we say we're gonna do something that you know, we are gonna do it and you know, if they have concerns or if they have questions or suggestions, we’ll listen.
So, I think, you know, there's been you know, a little bit of trust that's been built up over our years of involvement, such that I would say you know, again you know, do these folks love Textron? Probably not. You know, do they hate us? Absolutely not. But you know, we, we work together.

Kim Hewson: We want to be active in the place where our feet are walking. We need to listen more about what’s happening in terms of this mitigation and development, and I don’t think that people have really been that aware. So that means that certain leaders at our church, yours truly included, are going to have to be more involved in that if we do want to have a voice in this. And I just say that because I think that it would benefit all people involved to see that type of collaboration occur. But most importantly, for the people of Providence. And as we are in Providence, we want to be for Providence. And I’m encouraged by this conversation that we can do that.
