Cluster Battle Is Over, But The War Rages On, Chester Smolski
Cluster Battle Is Over, But The War Rages On, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"The Chinese have a saying: 'Life is a tragedy for those who feel and a comedy for those who think.' For Americans, the same could be said for zoning in the seemingly never-ending war between residents and developers over land development."
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."
Notable Efforts To Meet Emerging Housing Needs, Chester Smolski
Notable Efforts To Meet Emerging Housing Needs, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"This is a landmark year in the historical development of housing in the nation, ad Rhode Island almost became a part of this bigger picture. One noteworthy event has already taken place, and two special birthdays are observed throughout the year."
Helping Communities Determine Development, Chester Smolski
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."
Return Of The Student Tempo, Chester Smolski
Return Of The Student Tempo, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"It's that time of the year again when summer wanes and fall approaches. In the minds of many, this change to autumn occurs around Labor Day when the kids go back to school, rather than the official, later occurring, Autumnal Equinox. So, another season and the new academic year is upon us."
Preferred Location For A Jewelry Trade Center Is Downtown Providence, Chester Smolski
Preferred Location For A Jewelry Trade Center Is Downtown Providence, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"When the state of Rhode Island determined that a new court facility was needed in the Providence area in the late 1970s, a strong case was made to locate it on the state land near the Adult Correctional Institution in Cranston. A site there would have adequate space for parking, easy access off of Route 95 and a proximity of court to jail that would seem to make it a natural choice, given our propensity to site buildings and functions with deference to cars rather than people."
Invisible Industry, Visible Rewards, Chester Smolski
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."
Hitting The Untapped International Tourist Market, Chester Smolski
Hitting The Untapped International Tourist Market, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"It is the third-largest retailing operation in the nation with approximately five million employees. In New England it generates more than $620 million of state and local taxes annually. And in Rhode Island in 1986, it is estimated that $800 million was spent in this 'invisible industry.'"
Teaching Jobs, Housing And Implications Ready For Providence's Lap, Chester Smolski
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."
