Pawtucket Experiencing Extensive Building Room
Pawtucket undergoes a sweeping city renewal with a three mile highway cut, a $23.5 million project, and a proposed $7.2 million downtown urban renewal plan. A 10 story elderly home will replace Slater Hotel as federal funds drive stimulus, while a $1.1 million bond could fund a fringe circulator highway plus mall work. Malcolm S Hatch of the Chamber leads renewed cooperation between business and politics as Mayor Lawrence A McCarthy touts the changes.

About 800 homes apartments and businesses face demolition, with Pawtucket’s eight square miles nearly built out. He predicts long term gains from higher valuations and assures there will be no runaway tax increases.

If action begins against Communist forces across the Thai Laos border, tonnage could double with ammunition, fuel, and transport needs. An Army spokesman said troops will draw supplies from Pacific stocks, with shipments arranged by Army Transportation through Sea and Air Service channels.
