The schools are good and crime is not a problem. But, unlike a lot of bedroom communities, it’s also got an arts center, in the form of the Greenwich Odeum theater, at 59 Main St. The 410-seat theater, built 90 years ago for vaudeville acts and silent films, has gone through some rough times, but lately is reporting soldout houses and growing community support. “We’ve never been better,” said board member and past president Kevin Muoio. After more than a decade as a nonprofit arts center, the theater was forced to close because it did not conform with stricter fire codes enacted after the Station Nightclub fire. During the next five years, the seats were reupholstered with fireretardant materials and the building was outfitted with fire alarms, paid for by a $146,000 grant from the Champlain Foundations. The Odeum reopened in January of 2013. But it was spending more than it was taking in, and four months later, it found itself $40,000 in the hole and again closed its doors, creating a lot of credibility issues. But Muoio said the tough times seem to be behind the theater, which in the past six months has been awarded $600,000 in grants to install handicapped restrooms, expand the “very basic” concession area, and purchase an assisted listening system for patrons who have hearing issues. For the past 25 years, the theater has been out of handicapped compliance. Muoio added that the theater has been getting a steady stream of national acts, such as Art Garfunkle, Leon Russell and New-Age pianist George Winston. Todd Rundgren, “We’ve never been better,” says Greenwich Odeum board member and past president Kevin Muoio.

Dave Butler Executive Editor PROVIDENCE JOURNAL | providencejournal.com | Sunday, March 20, 2016 | 3 4 | Sunday, March 20, 2016 | PROVIDENCE JOURNAL | providencejournal.com Businesses optimistic about Apponaug road project Warwick WARWICK — A few people waited in line at the People’s Liquor Warehouse in Apponaug on a Sunday night in February. Construction on the road did not stop the customers from crossing the lines of traffic and pulling into the small plaza. “People are still coming in,” said Bob Willis, an assistant at the store. With the R.I. Department of Transportation’s Apponaug circulator project in full swing, the village is dotted with neon-orangeand-white traffic barrels and "road work ahead" signs. The plan is to turn almost all the one-way streets that wrap around the village into two-way streets, in the hopes of reducing traffic, bringing out more customers and attracting more economic development. The project, which began in 2014, should wrap up by late summer in 2017, with landscaping added to spruce up the area. Construction has not caused too many troubles for business owners, who are hopeful the new traffic patterns will make it easier for their customers. Willis said, “I just want it done as soon as possible.” There’s good news on that front. The $29.9 million project is on budget, and about a month ahead of schedule, since the mild winter allowed construction to continue, said RIDOT spokesman Charles St. Martin. There’s some concerns about learning to navigate through the five new roundabouts at intersections in the village, but St. Martin said more roundabouts are being added around the Ocean State, in part for safety reasons. Roundabouts can reduce fatalities by as much as 90 percent, St. Martin said. With roundabouts, he said, “the types of crashes that Population: 82,065 Median household income 2014: $62,803 Median house price 2015: $177,350 New business filings 2016: 234 College graduates: 30.3% PROVIDENCE JOURNAL | providencejournal.com Journal Staff Writer | By Carol Kozma NOTES: New business filings are as of Feb. 28; college graduates is percentage of residents 25 or older who have a bachelor’s degree or higher.

Richard Crenca, the city’s principal planner, and Avedisian sat in the mayor’s office, a poster board in front of them with a map of Apponaug and what it will soon look like. Part of Post Road in front of City Hall will remain a one-way street, but parking will be added so people can more easily stop into local stores. Veteran’s Memorial Drive and its extension will become two two-lane roads, going in opposite directions, so drivers can reach the Post Road Extension and Centerville Road more directly. The project is expected to reduce the 29,000 or so cars per day on Post Road in front of City Hall to about 5,000 cars, Crenca said. Crenca said the city has heard from a few businesses that have struggled during the construction.

THE PROVIDENCE JOURNAL/SANDOR BODO said he had some trouble attracting the lunch crowd, for example, Crenca said, but added that overall, complaints have been minimal. Over at Apponaug Color & Hobby Shop, a store that sells model trains, airplanes, art supplies and other goods, the construction has even helped business. “We’ve had a lot of construction people coming in, [they] ogle at everything,” said Spencer Moore, who works at the store. And regulars continue to come in, he added. ckozma@providencejournal. com (401) 277-7067 On Twitter: @CarolKozma 6 | Sunday, March 20, 2016 | PROVIDENCE JOURNAL | providencejournal.com PROVIDENCE JOURNAL | providencejournal.com | Sunday, March 20, 2016 | 7 8 CRANSTON | Sunday, March 20, 2016 Pride, passion fuel these small businesses By Gregory Smith Journal Staff Writer | Cranston — Here’s the thing PROVIDENCE JOURNAL | providencejournal.com about individually owned and family-owned businesses: It’s not life on Easy Street, as some people might imagine. “It’s a lot of hard work. It never leaves you,” said Kathleen A. Giorgi, owner of Frank DeClemente’s home appliance store, a fixture on Reservoir Avenue in Cranston. “My phone is with me all the time.” She adds, “I’m the one who takes the grief and the complaints.” On the east side of Cranston, the story is the same at the venerable Durfee Hardware. “For the number of hours I put in here, I could be working two state jobs,” quipped Paul Durfee, 62, majority owner of the store. At Rick’s Auto Body, in Pawtuxet Village, which straddles the Cranston-Warwick line, minority owner and lead employee Ronald D. Piscione, 47, said he does not take sick days or personal days. “The employees don’t care about your business the way that you do,” he said. Piscione, who stands to inherit the business, makes a point of inspecting every completed job. And here’s the other thing: They take pleasure in it. “I love the business. Neither of my brothers [and co-owners], I think, would love to do this,” said Paul Durfee, who oversees store operations but is gradually ceding command to his eldest child, Ryan, 30. “I enjoy being out on the floor and helping people.” Said Giorgi, “This is my passion. I love this business.” Thirty years an elementary school teacher in Cranston, Giorgi began working parttime at Frank DeClemente’s and then committed to it fulltime when her father, founder Francis C. DeClemente, died suddenly in 2004.

SOURCES: U.S. Census Bureau, R.I. Association of Realtors, R.I. secretary of state Textron. But Edward M. Mazze, distinguished professor of business administration at the University of Rhode Island and a business management consultant, said individually and family-owned businesses are the backbone of the Rhode Island economy. Nearly 90 percent of Rhode Island businesses are individually or family-owned, according to Mazze, and they tend to offer a service or sell retail. “We’re the ones that keep it going,” Giorgi said. “The money is staying here in Rhode Island.” Frank DeClemente’s, for example, employs six people, and Rick’s Auto Body, 12. Few of the individually and family-owned enterprises last beyond the third or fourth generation of ownership, though, because the commitment wanes as the generations pass, Mazze said. Even that is a triumph, because, Mazze said, the mortality rate for small businesses is so high: Most last one to four years. Durfee, founded in 1930, and Rick’s, in 1961, are in their third generation. Frank DeClemente’s, founded in the early 1960s, is in its second. Regardless of ownership Kathleen A.

THE PROVIDENCE JOURNAL/SANDOR BODO structure, shared input is not unusual. Giorgi’s husband, an architect, advises her. At Durfee, the three brothers who own the business — Paul, Peter and David — meet monthly to take stock. Peter, a certified public accountant, and David, who owns a computer design business, have secondary management roles. If family members’ work ethic, pride and reputation are factors in the success of a business, then keeping it in the family can be a competitive advantage, Mazze said.

Alicia Carlos, a chatty bartender who works next door to the creamery, learned about the 18-month-old bike path in mid-February: A youngish couple had popped into Pond & Pub Pizza as if they had come from, well, nowhere. So Carlos inquired and they told her the nearby bike path had brought them to this far-flung spot in Rhode Island, him on a skateboard and her on a bicycle. Now the bartender has joined the many hundreds, if not thousands, of people who have acquainted themselves with the Trestle Trail since it opened in the fall of 2014. Word is getting out. The project added five miles of uninterrupted riding to the Coventry Greenway, a 4-mile stretch of pavement that connected the eastern parts of town to the Washington Secondary Bike Path, in West Warwick. The latest extension to the path, the Trestle Trail has knitted together most of Coventry, making it possible to walk, run or bicycle from villages like Anthony, on the eastern side of town, through Washington and all the way to Greene and Summit, within five miles of the Connecticut border. The bike path runs where locomotives of the Hartford, Providence and Fishkill Railroad once hauled freight, offering a direct, often scenic, westward route, with none of SEE COVENTRY, 13 Parts of the new Trestle Trail Greenway, in Coventry, pass through scenic areas.

Carlos’ talk with the two visitors, and the experience of the Summit General Store, a few miles up the road, show that the bike path has already had an economic effect, which is what the Central Rhode Island Chamber of Commerce expected. Every year, the chamber convenes a group of residents, business people, municipal leaders and others to talk about health and wellness and ways to generally improve the community. “Bike paths have come up every year for the past five years,” says the chamber’s president, Lauren Slocum. Bike paths, says Slocum, do two important things for a community: they give residents, prospective residents and visitors a “sense of place,” and they improve the quality of life, providing an activity for people of all ages.

From Moosup, Connecticut, the path links into a network of trails that could someday provide paved riding all the way across the Nutmeg State: through Hartford, down to New Haven and west to New York. Rhode Island’s Statewide Planning Council is reviewing a proposed $5-million project to pave all the way to Connecticut and another $3-million project for bridge work at Bucks Horn Brook and the Moosup River, said Charles St. Martin, a spokesman for the Rhode Island Department of Transportation. For now, the paved bike path ends about five miles from Connecticut, near the Summit General Store, which proclaims itself “Rhode Island’s Only Real General Store.” It’s open 365 days a year and offers everything from hay and grain to sandwiches and ice cream. The store’s manager, Brian Ucci, says people tell him they never knew about the store — but once they’ve been, they promise they’ll come back. mreynolds@providence journal.com (401) 277-7490 On Twitter: @ mrkrynlds PROVIDENCE JOURNAL | providencejournal.com COVENTRY 14 Historic Our Town | Sunday, March 20, 2016 p | PROVIDENCE JOURNAL | providencejournal.com A worker wrestles with beer kegs on the loading dock of the Narragansett Brewery, in Cranston, in this mid-1960s photo.

Nearly half of the town’s 51 square miles are devoted to nature, and there are only about 6,000 residents. The town has no Main Street, no central business district, not even a post office. Town Administrator Kevin A. Breene likes to say it has one blinking light and its own ZIP code. And it also has four exits along Route 95. Dan’s Place, in a stylized barn off exit 5B, draws people from Connecticut and all over Rhode Island, said Breene and two others who happened to be in the town administrator’s office one recent Tuesday. The man behind Dan’s Place is Dan Hebert, 44. He grew up in Coventry, served in the Marines and launched his entrepreneurial career in 1996. He opened West Greenwich Town Pizza in a shopping plaza on Route 102 (Victory Highway) just north of the truck stop, now called TA West Greenwich. By 2009, Hebert had built and opened Dan’s Place, which the sign says offers “Pizza, Pasta, Steak & Ale,” but it actually offers an extensive menu, full bar and live music on weekends. Now he’s adding a second location, on Route 108 in South Kingstown. When Hebert looks around, he sees opportunities. Near his restaurant is a former gravel operation that he hopes someone will buy and develop as an outdoor recreation park with, perhaps, courses for dirt bikes Population: 6,118 Median household income 2014: $80,987 Median house price 2015: $275,250 New business filings 2016: 5 College graduates: 34.7% PROVIDENCE JOURNAL | providencejournal.com Journal Staff Writer | By Donita Naylor NOTES: New business filings are as of Feb. 28; college graduates is percentage of residents 25 or older who have a bachelor’s degree or higher. SOURCES: U.S. Census Bureau, R.I. Association of Realtors, R.I. secretary of state and go-karts. With 47 percent of the town preserved as open space, West Greenwich abounds in hiking trails. Trail systems can be found in the management areas of Wickaboxet, Tillinghast Pond, Big River and Arcadia, as well as on the University of Rhode Island’s Alton Jones Campus and in the Fry Pond Conservation Area, behind Town Hall. In the Big River Management Area, which the state acquired by condemning properties for a planned reservoir that was never built, the trails include some for mountain biking. Between exits 6A and 7, there’s a place to fly remotecontrolled miniature planes, and, after a good snow, the sand dunes are popular for sledding. Partly because it has so much Route 95 frontage, West Greenwich can count motels, gas stations and industries in its tax base. At exit 7, most of the Centre of New England is in Coventry, but the businesses that line the interstate are in West Greenwich. Sunday, March 20, 2016 | WEST GREENWICH Dan’s Place is a popular restaurant and bar in rural West Greenwich where you might find a line, even on a weeknight. THE PROVIDENCE JOURNAL/KRIS CRAIG Dan Hebert, 44, is the owner of the popular Dan’s Place. Hebert says that when he looks around West Greenwich, he sees plenty of opportunity. THE PROVIDENCE JOURNAL/ KRIS CRAIG Breene said the town has so many motels open yearround that for the southern part of the state, it ranks second in collecting the state’s hotel occupancy taxes. Industries include Conneaut, which makes yarns and fibers for industrial applications, and Amgen, which makes prescription drugs such as the arthritis and psoriasis treatment Enbrel. From three large warehouse distribution centers, Centrex supplies alcohol and other beverages to retail outlets, Roch’s Fresh Foods delivers produce, and Coast to Coast Fulfillment ships out orders for clients, some of whom never touch their own products. The Coast to Coast website says it is the largest U.S. Postal Service customer in Rhode Island and that it has a Postal Service facility on site. So West Greenwich does have a post office — just not one that the public can use. dnaylor@providencejournal. com / (401) 277-7411 On Twitter: @donita22 18 | Sunday, March 20, 2016 | PROVIDENCE JOURNAL | providencejournal.com /$"2 :2 PROVIDENCE JOURNAL | providencejournal.com | Sunday, March 20, 2016 | 19 20 WEST WARWICK | Sunday, March 20, 2016 Town seeks businesses, housing to revive Arctic By Alex Kuffner Journal Staff Writer | PROVIDENCE JOURNAL | providencejournal.com WEST WARWICK — Town officials are considering options for revitalizing downtown Arctic Village. The town issued a request for proposals from developers last year and started accepting plans in December. The Arctic Village Redevelopment Agency, the municipal group charged with assessing the applications, has met with developers but has yet to make any decisions. “We’ve had two individuals come in proposing mixed-use buildings,” said Town Planner Mark Carruolo. “Those are in the very formative stages right now.” Arctic has long been the civic and commercial hub of West Warwick, with Town Hall and the police station located here as well as a row of storefronts on either side of Main Street. But the area has been in decline for years as buildings have fallen into disrepair or lost tenants. In 2012, the town commissioned a study by the Cecil Group, a Boston-based planning firm, that aimed to set out a path for redeveloping the village. The study led to the creation of the Arctic Village Redevelopment District and the redevelopment agency, which held its first meeting in 2014. Under the strategy that resulted from the study, the town would consider a range of financial incentives, including tax treaties and phased-in tax rates, to attract developers. The town is also allowed by state law to implement sales tax incentives for businesses in the area. “Like many other New England communities, the Town’s center has been subject to long-term shifts in manufacturing and employment patterns, transportation networks, retailing and housing preferences that cannot be reversed,” the strategy says. “Instead, the Town must actively find opportunities to redefine Arctic Village West Warwick Population: 28,960 Median household income 2014: $50,138 Median house price 2015: $159,950 New business filings 2016: 8 College graduates: 21.5% NOTES: New business filings are as of Feb. 28; college graduates is percentage of residents 25 or older who have a bachelor’s degree or higher. SOURCES: U.S. Census Bureau, R.I. Association of Realtors, R.I. secretary of state and establish new roles for its center. Significant reinvestment must be attracted to reverse years of deterioration and change both the perceptions and realities of the district.” The town is looking for a mixture of restaurants, offices, retail space and residential development, as well as the establishment of arts and entertainment activities that could take advantage of places such as the gazebo park in the village. The strategy also highlights the proximity of the West Warwick Greenway bicycle path and the Pawtuxet River. Proposals for new buildings are being sought, but the historic structures in the village would also be reused — they include Arctic Mill, Centreville Mill and the old post office building. So far, the redevelopment agency has heard presentations on plans for two new buildings on Washington Street that would include business space and condominiums, and the expansion and renovation of Centreville Bank’s offices on Main Street. “Nothing’s set in stone yet,” said Town Council member Angelo A. Padula Jr. “We’re hoping for some more information in the next month or two.” State Sen. Adam Satchell, The Arctic Village Redevelopment Agency has heard a proposal to expand and renovate the Centreville Bank’s offices on Main Street. THE PROVIDENCE JOURNAL/KRIS CRAIG The West Warwick Center, at 145 Washington St., is in the proposed Arctic Village redevelopment area. THE PROVIDENCE JOURNAL/KRIS CRAIG who is planning to cosponsor legislation that could allow additional tax credits for renovations of existing properties in Arctic and other distressed areas of the state, said the town is looking forward to getting the first project under way as part of the redevelopment strategy. “We need that and then you'll see the domino effect,” the West Warwick Democrat said. There has been progress on some fronts in the village recently. CVS is moving forward with a longstanding plan for a new building on Washington Street. Thundermist Health Center, which has a medical clinic on Providence Street, has expanded into rental space on Main Street. A local theater group, the Arctic Playhouse, is thriving and may look for new space too, said Carruolo. And there is also talk of developing residential lofts that could bring new life to the village. “If all the puzzle pieces fall into place, you’ll see Arctic turn around,” Carruolo said. akuffner@providencejournal. com (401) 277-7457 On Twitter: @KuffnerAlex PROVIDENCE JOURNAL | providencejournal.com | Sunday, March 20, 2016 | 21 22 | Sunday, March 20, 2016 | PROVIDENCE JOURNAL | providencejournal.com PROVIDENCE JOURNAL | providencejournal.com | Sunday, March 20, 2016 | 23 24 | Sunday, March 20, 2016 | PROVIDENCE JOURNAL | providencejournal.com
