Today marks an exciting new chapter for all Providence students as we celebrate the beginning of not only new school buildings but investments in our students ensuring that they have safe, welcoming and supportive environments they need to learn and grow.
From creating stronger through our PK-8 schools to expanding college and career opportunities at Mount Pleasant, we are building on a foundation that will support and uplift Providence families for decades to come.

Forbes has named Providence's own North Burial Ground and Roger Williams Park Zoo's Jack-O-Lantern Spectacular as the top Halloween destinations in the state. With two of our iconic parks earning this recognition, Providence proves once again to be a top destination for visitors and locals alike.

Every Providence resident deserves a safe, stable and affordable place to call home. As rising housing costs continue to stretch family budgets, my administration has been focused on helping neighbors stay in their homes and building more affordable housing across our city.
On ral election, we're asking for support to continue the development of affordable housing by voting yes on question number #6. An approval vote will help to secure $25 million in funds to finance affordable housing projects in the City to keep the momentum going.

Since taking office almost four years ago, Education has been one of my administrations top priorities. We've made significant progress that has been essential to one of our greatest achievements - Providence schools returning to local management.
From expanding access to sting hundreds of millions of dollars in school construction, and from strengthening mentorship programs to providing free summer meals for students, we're incredibly proud of all we've accomplished. Providence students represent the future of our city and investing in them is the most important investment we can make for Providence.
