    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.
