PAWTUCKET – McCoy Stadium off Division Street and Columbus Avenue is one of two proposed sites for a new public safety complex, Mayor Donald Grebien is confirming this week.
The second and more likely option is the existing site of the Department of Public Works at Armistice Boulevard and George Bennett Highway, to be located on a swath of land on the industrial highway side of the property.
Both sites are under review for a new public safety complex on the east side of the city, said Grebien.
