“Today is a great day for the neighborhoods and residents of South Providence. We thank everyone who has been involved in temporarily closing this dangerous and polluting business down for the foreseeable future and ensuring the health and safety of the community remains protected. This is a small victory, but also a significant one, for the public health and safety of Providence’s residents.
