Spruce Up The Plan Reports To Gain Some Notice, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts

Who Are Nation's Poor? Census Pores Over Stats, Chester Smolski

Smolski Texts

The 21st decennial undertaking will be watched closely because the numbers will help determine where new markets might be sited, where federal dollars may flow, and a host of other conclusions that may be drawn by ascertaining the numbers and locations of people. But the results will be most closely scrutinized by politicians at all levels of government."

Financing Difficulties Stall Linkage In Providence, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"When the India Point Club luxury condominium development, scheduled to be built on the Providence waterfront, was announced in 1987, there were many local skeptics who said it was too expensive for the Providence market. After all, selling penthouse condos overlooking the dirty Providence River for over $1 million was quite ambitious--and some said impossible."
