Until the Superman Building is renovated there should be NO proposals whatsoever for ANY building this size in Providence. They can't even fill an existing building and city planners wanted us to trust them with delivering a new building thats even LARGER?! They have absolutely ZERO room to speak on anything.

Which one are you specifically referring to? This was definitely true of a few buildings 10-15 years ago, but that may as well have been 100 years ago, as far as relevance to now

To be fair, it is immensely complicated and costly to renovate a building that old compared to building a new one. When the Superman Building was constructed they didn’t have to take into consideration the requirements of a modern building

I'm tired of that answer man. I've spent my whole life believing people when they say its complicated only to visit other states and watch them easily succeed in the places that our state drops the ball. There's so much smoke and mirrors here that even simple things need to be fought over to get done. I shouldn't have to check a ballot box on whether I want my roads to be maintained properly. I shouldn't have to pay double my previous utility bill in order to modernize a power grid. These things should have been looked after. But somehow it always ends up falling on the taxpayers lap to get done. I'm not saying fixing a building isn't hard work but honestly with our track record I just don't believe these people anymore.

I agree with you but I just know as an engineer in construction I’d much rather build a new building then renovate an existing one. Don’t blame me I’m not the state lol

As follows….

Built the largest solar field in New England.

Oversaw 27 energy sites.

Monitored almost every wind turbine in the state. (Minus offshore)

Surveyed for the Top Golf in Cranston.

If you’d like to continue I can pull a Billy Mays impression for the rest
