"As Mayor, I am always looking for opportunities to innovate and to bring our city's operations into the 21st century," said Mayor Jorge O. Elorza. "The new Providence Infrastructure Project Dashboard gives residents a real-time view of the status of everything from recreation center and school building renovations to updates of sidewalk reconstruction and public art installations. I hope everyone will follow along, using this new tool to learn about all of the important investments happening throughout the City." The dashboard tracks infrastructure investments in seven categories: public works, public property, parks, planning, arts culture and tourism, school buildings and early learning facilities.
