Providence Home Rule, Chester Smolski

This is decidedly a praiseworthy action on the part of the private sector."

And nowhere are these improvements more manifest than in the 430 acres comprising Roger Williams Park, one of the principal city assets that is enjoyed by both resident and non-resident alike."
