Message: From GoLocalProv by GoLocalProv News Team and Kate Nagle : In last night’s State of the City Address, Providence Mayor Jorge Elorza claimed that the city was entering a period of resurgence due in part “more than 30 new major construction projects worth almost half a billion dollars.” When asked to provide back up for the claim, the Elorza Administration refused to provide a list of the projects or the dollar amount associated with the respective projects. After nearly a half dozen phone calls and email requests for clarification and support materials, the Elorza administration finally emailed a convoluted statement, “That figure is based on projects that have entered into the development review process with a city board, city commission or city department and are expected to break ground in 2016.” http://www.golocalprov.comhttp://beta.golocalprov.com/elorza-cant-provide-back-up-to-claim-of-30-projects-and-.5-billion-in-new-c
