Projects

The Pawtucket Department of Planning and Redevelopment is charged with ensuring Pawtucket is a quality place to live, work and visit. Many of the department’s responsibilities involve enforcing the City’s rules and regulations concerning the building environment. The Department also actively works to improve Pawtucket’s economy by encouraging appropriate economic development.

In recent years, Pawtucket has seen new development interest and there are now many redevelopment projects taking place across the City. One of the most significant areas of progress has been the increasing number of residential development projects in Pawtucket. In 2019 there are over 700 new residential apartments in various stages of development with more in the pipeline. Additional residential apartments are helping to grow the City and are attracting new commercial and retail businesses to support the growing population.
