Progress You Can Be Proud Of. . .
On April 23, 2007, Mayor Charles A. Lombardi
began his eighteen month term as the Mayor of
North Providence. During his first 150 days in
office, Mayor Lombardi has achieved tasks such
as negotiating a new contract with Blue Cross
resulting in a savings over $300,000.00 in tax
dollars; made much needed renovations throughout
town hall; purchased five new police vehicles;
purchased a new rescue vehicle; negotiated a new
agreement with Sovereign Bank resulting in over
$200,000.00 more in additional interest paid to
the town; relocated the North Providence VIN
Inspection station to a state-of-the-art
facility; purchased a heavy duty fire rescue
vehicle; installed new roofing and renovated
three of our fire stations; secured a secondary
healthcare policy which should generate a
savings in upwards of $400,000.00; purchased
land next to the public safety complex for
future development; and made renovations to our
existing DPW Building assisted by our town
workers resulting in hundreds of thousands of
dollars in savings. Mayor Lombardi hosted one
of the best Fourth of July celebrations this
year with a great fireworks display and
entertainment; planning the First Annual
Memorial Day Parade in Town; has been fighting
to keep Camp Meehan open space by purchasing the
land; raised thousands of dollars for
scholarships and various charities throughout
the Town at the Holiday Christmas Party; working
diligently to bring Lowe’s to North Providence
on Mineral Spring Avenue and Douglas Avenue,
which will greatly increase tax revenue; in the
process of creating various senior-youth and
business committees for community input; already
working closely with the Fruit Hill Neighborhood
Association to secure improvements to Fruit Hill
Avenue and meeting to propose turning the former
landfill into a Sports Complex. Mayor Lombardi
has put the residents concerns and their well
being at the top of his “To Do” list.
