Houle Property off of Route 102 was purchased by Robert H. Branchaud of International Ventures Inc., a commercial enterprise, will be renovating the area and relocating here next Spring/Summer.
Supreme Mid-Atlantic Truck Company assembly plant will be relocating to the Superfund site off of Route 7. This was a very complicated and very ambitious project that is a win/win for all parties involved and utilizes a site that otherwise is worthless to the community. Very few projects like this have been undertaken and successful in the country. Supreme is currently in the permitting process at DEM. Fast track authority has been granted by RIEDC so this is moving as quickly as possible.
Crystal Lake Golf Course is being completed as we speak. We have expedited the internal review and approval process to allow the course to be built as quickly as possible.
Community Builders, Inc. and the Town partnered to submit a grant for elderly/handicapped housing at the Stillwater Mill complex. This is six (6) million dollar ($6,000,000) project that will provide much needed housing options to the elderly population as well as initiating the redevelopment to Stillwater Mills.
The Town just received notification that Community Builders received the $68,000 grant to perform a market study for Stillwater, expanded to town-wide resulting from our $15,000 match.
The Town will be/has acquired the Fontaine/O’Hara property for expansion of Town services. This parcel is at the East Ave end of the Stillwater Mill complex which will give the entire redevelopment effort a major boost as well as providing the Town with a new “state of the art” library and possibly other services not currently having a home.
Stillwater property acquisition for the library/town use received $58,000 grant from EDC to perform the environmental evaluation.
East Avenue, Chapel Street and Route 107 to Route 100 in Pascoag are all scheduled for reconstruction/paving/sidewalks/improvements by the state within the next two (2) years. These projects are estimated to be approximately three (3) million, $500,000 of which is a TEP grant already secured.
Chapel Street Master Plan (Harrisville) – Right of way and survey authorized and expected 10/25/02. Gates Leighton & Associates (GLA) to work with Historic Commission and Ray Menard. The public hearing process to develop master plan to start this fall.
Mapleville Bridge will be replaced by the State in the spring of 2003. Neighborhood improvements will follow. Estimated to be 1.2 million dollars (depending on the scope of the neighborhood project). This project is now formally on the TIP program
Daniele Proscuitto will be expanding their plant and maintaining it’s corporate headquarters in Burrillville. Between 86,000 and 400,000 square feet of new commercial/industrial facilities should be built over a fifteen (15) to twenty (20) year period. This project will allow the Town to acquire the land, build the basic infrastructure and complete the planning, etc. for the new industrial park, which will increase our industrial/commercial tax based revenue over the same15 to 20 year period. This will be necessary to offset the lost revenue from the Ocean State Power Tax Treaty, when it expires in ten (10) years.
Tennessee Valley Gas/Ocean State Power – This project is a 14-15 million dollar plant (construction estimates) which will compress natural gas for use at the Ocean State Power plant and for all of Rhode Island. It is basically a non-intrusive, safe facility that will add significantly to our commercial tax base.
CVS Bridge – This bridge with longstanding weight restrictions is now scheduled for replacement through the State Bridge Replacement Program. It was originally scheduled for replacement within two (2) years but it appears that State’s financial problems will delay that. All administrative details required for qualification have been completed to date.
Hauser Field/Branch River Park This upgrade to our athletic fields will start in late 2002 and continue into 2003. We will build the project in phases, but phase one will be the upgrades to the playing fields themselves – which is the basic objective. The 1.1 million dollar project is supplemented by a three hundred thousand dollar ($300,000) State Recreation Grant that will be used to fund the first phase ($575,000). Additional grants/sources of funding will be solicited.
Police Station Fields – The open area behind the police station has been properly researched for wetlands and a plan to relocate and/or work with the wetlands is currently at DEM for approval. Once approved, the Town will be able to maximize the use of this current open space for recreation fields/facilities. A planning study to determine the best use of this area has been authorized.
Redevelopment Agency – The Redevelopment Agency is up and running and performing very well. The planning process is required to be completed prior to the activity itself. Once the comprehensive plan is amended and approved, the Agency will move to clarify its authority and then to designate districts for redevelopment activities.
Route 102 Study Committee – This committee is completing its work and should have its final report and related recommendations to the Town Council and Planning Board in December. This is, effectively, a master plan for development of Route 102 and the corridor.
Metech Expansion – This project is in the due diligence phase. Nothing tangible has occurred yet, except the natural gas line expansion. (See comments below)
Note: This expansion is dependent on the natural gas line being brought to the Lambert site.
Expansion of Natural Gas Service – We have held very productive meetings with New England Gas Co. to have the company consider constructing underground natural gas lines from Pascoag, through Harrisville to the Lambert/Prosciutto and Clear River Drive properties.
Stillwater Mill Master Plan – This plan is in place and is becoming the catalyst for redevelopment that we hoped it would be.
Downtown Pascoag Master Plan – This plan is in place and is becoming the catalyst for redevelopment that we hoped it would be.
EMD Engineering has just been retained to design the Downtown Pascoag Riverwalk Project. The small parking lot across from the old music hall site is under construction and the larger parking lot behind the post office abutting the river has been designed and is awaiting funding. The DPA has been asked to inquire about the availability of the now vacant music hall site. The Town’s building, the old laundromat, is under design review by Beckman Weremay and renovation plans should be ready soon.
Clear River Drive Industrial Park – Have worked with the Industrial Foundation and the private developer to create this new industrial park. The first three (3) new buildings were just approved for construction by the Planning Board. The Clear River Drive (roadway) project has been authorized, however we are still waiting for title work to be completed in order to determine options to consider utilization of the railroad ROW for road/transportation purposes.
Tarkiln Bridge and Culvert – The bridge and culvert are in the DEM permitting stage, which is holding up construction. It looks like we will bid these projects this winter for Spring 2003 construction.
Mowry Road/Park – This road relocation and park project along Tarkiln Pond, are now included on the formal TIP program and is scheduled for construction in 2003. This is a one million dollar ($1,000,000) transportation grant. This may be coordinated around the Tarkiln Road Bridge/Culvert replacement project.
