Cranston Plans Redevelopment of Former Mill Complex

The Cranston City Plan Commission has approved plans to redevelop the former Cranston Print Works complex, which has been dormant since 2014. The project aims to transform approximately 17 acres of the site into 100 apartments and around 880 self-storage units, marking a significant revitalization effort in the area. Originally founded in 1824, Cranston Print Works was once a leading textile manufacturer, and the redevelopment represents a new chapter for the historic site. The project is pending final administrative approvals, which are expected to be completed soon. Community engagement is encouraged, as the redevelopment is seen as a step towards enhancing local housing and storage options. This initiative aligns with ongoing efforts to rejuvenate the city's urban landscape.
