One thing is for sure. If Alfred Carpionato is building it, they will come. His construction is absolutely first class, and there is no doubt that he will give a massive face-lift to all these shopping centers. The result will be new jobs, new customers, new home buyers, new businesses, new tax revenue, and a higher quality-of-life for us all. Warwick painfully lost 715 jobs when Benny's closed. Kelly Coates is only predicting that the new jobs will "put the number at 1,000". I think that he is being very conservative. I would say the total jobs created is more in the 1,800 to 2,000 range, especially with all the new businesses they will create.
In the long run, this is probably one of the best things that has ever happened to Warwick. And it all started with the The Crowne Plaza of several decades ago, the crowning achievement of City Councilman Joe Gallucci.
Merry Christmas everyone.
