The George C. Arnold Building off Washington St. in 2011.
PROVIDENCE, R.I. -- The Providence Redevelopment Agency on Thursday will discuss the possibility of buying the three-story building at 94 Washington St.
The brick structure, known as the George C. Arnold Building, has been vacant for several years. Its boarded-up facade is nettlesome to Mayor Angel Taveras, who has mentioned the building as ripe for re-use. In a sweeping plan announced March 28, Taveras said the agency will pursue options from financial assistance to eminent domain to propel redevelopment of that building and others in the city.
The agency next meets at 4 p.m. in 444 Westminster St.
