Role For Business Leaders In A Cleaner Downtown, Chester Smolski
Role For Business Leaders In A Cleaner Downtown, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"The recent sales promotion by the Providence Intown Merchants Association proved quite successful. Five-cent bus rides and bargain sales generated considerable business, especially on Saturday, normally a quiet day for retail sales in the downtown. This well illustrates what is possible when salesmanship and cooperation among downtown merchants are used to full advantage."
More Inner City Jobs, Chester Smolski
More Inner City Jobs, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"Congressman Henry S. Reuss of Wisconsin has given the answer most succinctly: "The most straightforward way to help cities is to provide jobs...From a city's standpoint, jobless citizens make no contributions to a community's revenues. But they add greatly to its costs for welfare, crime, and assorted ills."
Stimulus For R.I. Housing, Chester Smolski
Stimulus For R.I. Housing, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"It was the single largest bond issue in the state and one of the largest in the nation. The Rhode Island Housing and Mortgage Finance Corporation (HMFC) has sold $163 million of tax-free bonds, $142 million of which will be made available at below market interest rates to persons with annual incomes up to $30,000, to buy homes in Rhode Island. This will have a sizable impact on the local real estate market and increase housing opportunities for many prospective home buyers."
State-Supported Urban Policy Vital For Rhode Island, Chester Smolski
State-Supported Urban Policy Vital For Rhode Island, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"For the first time in this country's history there is now a national urban policy, a statement of objectives that need to be implemented if this nation's cities are to survive and subsequently prosper."
Downtown Malls: A Means To An End, Chester Smolski
Downtown Malls: A Means To An End, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"It has been a trying year for downtown Providence merchants. Roads that too long have been neglected are being repaired and a Westminster Mall is in the process of getting a new facelift. Dirt, dust, noise, hazardous walking and a general inconvenience have deterred potential shoppers from using downtown shops, and this is reflected in reduced sales."
Despite The Heartaches, Urban Renewal Deserves High Marks, Chester Smolski
Despite The Heartaches, Urban Renewal Deserves High Marks, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"The term "urban renewal" draws a mixed reaction. For some, it has meant relocated families, destroyed neighborhoods and heartache, even years after the fact. For others it has meant new construction, new jobs, increased taxes, reconstructed neighborhoods and visible signs of process."
Is This What We Want For Our Small Urban State?, Chester Smolski
Is This What We Want For Our Small Urban State?, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"The big advantage of a small state is that it is comprehensible, and some might say managable. Certainly, it is easier to work with the 39 cities and towns of this state rather than the 351 cities and towns of nearby Massachusetts. And yet one wonders if this is really true."
An Old Seaport Learns To Compete, Chester Smolski
An Old Seaport Learns To Compete, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"It is situated at the northern limit of New Hampshire's short 18-mile seacoast, a seacoast perhaps best known for its beaches at Hampton and Rye. It was founded in 1630 on the south bank of Piscataqua at a location where wild strawberries were common, and carried the name 'Strawbery Banke" until 1653 when its name was changed to Portsmouth. Today, New Hampshire's only seaport is actively engaged in preserving this heritage of more than three centuries and to retain an architectural charm rivaling that of any New England seaport community."
Loss-Leaders For The Inner Cities, Chester Smolski
Loss-Leaders For The Inner Cities, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"The Wall Street Journal has called it 'the latest war between the states.' It is a tool long used by Southern cities and states that only now is being utilized in the Northeast and Midwest. And it has been used by the city of Providence at the Biltmore Plaza.
Providence Needs Downtown Development District, Chester Smolski
Providence Needs Downtown Development District, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"In case you have not noticed, there is a considerable amount of activity taking place in downtown Providence these days."
Opportunity For Productive Land Use In Weybosset Hill Renewal Project, Chester Smolski
Opportunity For Productive Land Use In Weybosset Hill Renewal Project, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"Recent proposals submitted to the Providence Redevelopment Authority for the development of "parcel 4" in the Weybosset Hill Urban Renewal Project have raised some interesting ideas as to the best use of that site."
Would A Westerly Mall Benefit The Entire Town?, Chester Smolski
Would A Westerly Mall Benefit The Entire Town?, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"It is the largest urban center in southwestern Rhode Island but, in reality, it is just a small town with a population approaching 20,000. A good example of small-town America, it is an attractive community and one in which residents take a good deal of pride."
Those Inner City "Magnets" Are A Big Draw, Chester Smolski
Those Inner City "Magnets" Are A Big Draw, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"His firm was the first to build the enclosed shopping malls that we find scattered throughout the suburbs today. It brought symphony orchestras and art museums into these malls. It was the first to provide extensive landscaping to these regional shopping centers, and which the company strives to make into community centers as well as centers of retail activity. And the most successful new town in this country, built completely with private funds, is the work of this company."
Baltimore: A City On The Move, Chester Smolski
Baltimore: A City On The Move, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"On the way to Washington D.C. one drives through a part of America's seventh largest city and, based upon the popular image of this city, there is no reason to stop in Baltimore. But if one does stop, he would be surprised and impressed by the dynamism of a city on the move."
City Need Is Jobs For Young, Chester Smolski
City Need Is Jobs For Young, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"The federal Housing and Community Development Act of 1974 was a landmark piece of legislation which continues to benefit communities in need. Over the past three years Providence has received close to $27 million which has been spent to improve housing, parks and historic buildings in addition to building and servicing community centers. The focus of this major legislation was on physical and social improvement of the community. The one unprovided area was economic development."
Better Year Ahead For Ri Builders, Chester Smolski
Better Year Ahead For Ri Builders, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"Building permit figures recently released by the Rhode Island Builders Association indicate that housing construction in the first quarter of 1978 is well ahead of the comparable period for 1977. The signs are encouraging that this year will be better than the last and that the recovery continues from 1975, the poorest year for the housing industry in the 1970s."
Jacksonville's Commitment To Downtown, Chester Smolski
Jacksonville's Commitment To Downtown, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"The largest city in the Sunshine State is quite different from the cities we know in the Northeast, especially in its downtown."
Revival Of Downtown Providence, Chester Smolski
Revival Of Downtown Providence, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"Finally, on September 29, more than two years after the initial correspondence and subsequent competition, design, debate, public hearings and more public hearings, the proposal for the Kennedy Plaza auto restricted zone (ARZ) was passed by the Providence City Council. This necessary approval cleared the last barrier before the September 30 deadline of the Urban Mass Transit Administration (UMTA) so that Providence may be considered for nearly $5 million of federal funds to implement this project."
Suburbocentrics Leave Behind Concerns For City, Chester Smolski
Suburbocentrics Leave Behind Concerns For City, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"The column written by Jean Slaughter Doty for this page, "Love Suburbia or Leave It Alone," recently was beautiful. Mrs. Doty, author, housewife and mother in a Connecticut suburb, aptly described the problem of groth, both planned but more commonly unplanned, that has taken place in American suburbs and which has too often destroyed the advantages these places initially offered."
