Pawtucket
As the birthplace of the industrial revolution, the
city of Pawtucket prides itself as being one of the most historical
significant cities in America. Slater Mill, founded in 1791, now serves
as an educational museum and a facility for cultural events. Interstate
95 winds its way through the heart of Pawtucket, putting the city in
position just 10 minutes north of Providence and 50 minutes south of
Boston.
Its location makes this city a perfect center business and the arts. In
fact, the city is expanding its Arts and Entertainment District by
offering artist incentives to relocate within the area. For baseball
fans, the Pawtucket Red Sox, the minor league team of the Boston Red
Sox, offers professional baseball at family prices.
Major renovations continue to see a growth in office buildings and
industry. Pawtucket is home to several internationally known companies
including Collette Vacations, and Hasbro. Its industrial area is served by freight
rail. In all, more than 1,000 commercial enterprises have all chosen to
locate in Pawtucket because of its business-friendly environment.
Pawtucket has an elected mayor and city council.
