The Coventry Redevelopment Agency has sent out a Save the Date Notice for August 21 at 600pm for its First Community Workshop on the Johnson’s Pond Redevelopment Project being held at the Coventry Resource and Senior Center 10 Wood St.
On Thursday we had our monthly call with the Governor’s Office and the RI League of Cities and Towns for all municipalities to provide updates on their Community Learning Centers and exchange ideas and concepts on how each of us are fulfilling the three actions items that are included in our pact with the Governor: these include programming for health monitoring, education, and workforce development for the next five years.
We received notice that our 3rd new sanitation truck should be in by the end of August and our last Senior Resource van from RIPTA is also on its way later this month.
