NORTH PROVIDENCE – Bidding on the long-awaited first phase of construction for a new North Providence Animal Shelter is set to be sent out to the public this week.
NORTH PROVIDENCE – Tired of being told that a new animal shelter is right around the corner, a group of local advocates is planning a rally to draw attention to the situation.
Karen Vaillancourt, who is organizing the event with Cathy Lanni, said that while the topic of a new shelter has been spoken about since at least 2014, appropriate money “has yet to be set aside and used to build a proper, to-code animal shelter in North Providence,” and an architect experienced in building state-of-the-art shelters has not been engaged.
They’re inviting anyone who wants to join the cause to the North Providence Public Safety Complex, 1835 Mineral Spring Ave., this Sunday, May 16, for a rally running from 1 to 2 p.m. The event is titled “North Providence Needs A New Shelter Peaceful Show of Support,” and will be held on the sidewalk in front of the complex on busy Mineral Spring Avenue.
