RI Republican Caucus Asks to Reopen I - 95 North Welcome Center
Friday, February 06, 2015
The Rhode Island Senate Republican Caucus has asked the Department of Transportation and the new Secretary of Commerce to look into reopening the I - 95 North Welcome Center in Richmond.
"The welcome center sits in a very prominent location, and it's nearly four year closure gives Rhode Island the appearance of being less than welcoming to anyone traveling interstate 95," the republican caucus said in a letter to DOT Director Michael Lewis and Secretary of Commerce Stefan Pryor.
Senate Minority leader Dennis Algiere has said that the caucus is interested in working with the DOT and Commerce to explore ways to reopen the center.
