High Price Of Housing Has Some Unseen Costs, Chester Smolski
High Price Of Housing Has Some Unseen Costs, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"Affordability is the major problem in the housing industry today, at least in this part of the country. The Northeast, now the most expensive area in the nation in which to build a house, is fine for those who are sitting in their appreciating houses, but the region is at a distinct disadvantage when it comes to attracting a pool of talented people to live and work here."

Helping Communities Determine Development, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"The word uppermost in the minds of many communities these days is 'development,' a process that manifests itself on the land in the form of the built environment. Alarmed at the speed with which land is being used--and often abused--communities are being faced with touch decisions on how to cope with development, either by directing it, managing it or even stopping it."

Invisible Industry, Visible Rewards, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"The week of May 17 to May 23 appeared to be an ordinary one, but it was singled out at the national level as National Tourism Week and, in the state, as Rhode Island Tourism Week, in case you did not know, and it was recognized by both the governor and by the mayor of Providence at recent luncheons. Well, ho-hum, another of the many proclamations and paper awards that so often come out of these offices that few give them much attention. But this one should cause Rhode Islanders to sit up and take notice."

Teaching Jobs, Housing And Implications Ready For Providence's Lap, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"For the first time in 15 years, Providence has good news for those seeking teaching positions. There will be about 70 new openings in the next year as a result of about 50 impending retirements this year and an expected increase in enrollments of more than 500 next year. The short-term impact of the new teaching positions will be to bring young teachers into the schools and, in the long term, effect a major impact in the community."
Education: Catalyst For Work Skills, Chester Smolski
Education: Catalyst For Work Skills, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"When Swarthmore College awarded a full scholarship to an indigent teenager it had little idea that Eugene Lang would become a successful New York business executive who would, in time, become a major benefactor to the college. But Eugene Lang is better known for his investment in an even younger group of students at his former elementary school to whom he promised full college scholarships if they would finish high school. And early returns from this group of children, most of who are poor ad minorities, is that they are still attending school and looking to the future."
