A Message to the Residents and Taxpayers of the City of Pawtucket
Dear Friends and Neighbors,
Once again, we say goodbye to the old year and welcome in the new. As we start 2015, my family and I would like to wish you nothing but the best for this
upcoming year. A new year always gives us the opportunity to reflect on the past; dream of the future and this year should be no different.
As I start my third term as your mayor, I would like to take a look back over the past few years to highlight some of the City’s accomplishments and a look forward
to give you some insight into what I see for the future of our city.
In January of 2010 Pawtucket was a city in crisis, on the brink of a state takeover and financial bankruptcy. My administration rolled up its sleeves and went to
work. Tough choices were made at all levels of our city government based on what were the right things to do for the taxpayers and residents of our city.
After four years in office, I was extremely pleased when Fitch’s Investment Service raised the City’s bond rating two notches in late 2014, reaffirming the steps we
have taken to bring Pawtucket back from financial crisis are working. Best of all, we were able to accomplish this with no tax increases on either residents or
businesses for the past two years.
We are also seeing major improvements to the infrastructure of our city. An aggressive, ongoing road-paving program, which has seen more miles of road repaved
than has been seen in a decade, is making it a lot easier to get around in Pawtucket. In addition, thanks to voters who passed all of the bond referenda this past
November, we will be making some important infrastructure improvements to our schools, parks, roads, public buildings and bridges during the next two years. All
of these improvements are targeted toward improving the quality of life of our residents, while building a strong foundation for future growth as we continue to
build our bridge to progress.
My administration continues to aggressively seek out new businesses to move to our city, bringing with them much needed tax revenues and the opportunity for
Mayor Donald R. Grebien
jobs for our residents. We are proud to welcome Pet Food Experts to our business community as they move their corporate headquarters and over 100 jobs to
Pawtucket’s downtown. I continue to make site visits to Pawtucket businesses to hear first-hand how my administration can help them continue to thrive and hopefully expand here in the city. It is my hope in 2015
to see movement on the long idled riverfront property on Division Street as we work with our private sector partners to ensure that the development is a gem for our riverfront and provides public access. I stand
committed to moving forward and promoting economic growth and job creation, which I find to be the lifeblood of any city.
Thanks to our generous sponsors, I am once again pleased to present you with the annual city calendar. You will find a wealth of information on scheduled events, information on your local officials and the many
services available to you. I urge you to visit these sponsors and to thank them for their commitment to the calendar and our city. Throughout this calendar you will find photos from the general public as well as
school children from many of the fifth grade classes throughout the Pawtucket School System. The theme for this year’s calendar is “Coloring Pawtucket.”
My wish for you in 2015 is that you and your family have a happy, healthy and prosperous New Year. More importantly though, I want you to be proud of the city that we all call home. Pawtucket is back, Pawtucket
is strong, Pawtucket is proud – Pawtucket Proud!
Sincerely,
2015 Cover Photo: Congratulations to Trinity Barata, who was a 5th grade student at Potter-Burns School at the time of this contest. Her winning
photo was selected by Mayor Donald R. Grebien for this year's Mayor's Choice Award.

Camera Werks for coordinating this contest and making it the great success it was.

Your Official Guide to Experiencing Pawtucket...
Pawtucket is not only an outstanding community
in which to live and work but also a great place
to play and to be entertained.
From Chinese dragon boats to championship
Triple-A baseball, handcrafted jewelry exhibitors to live music in numerous genres, plus
historical attractions, three critically acclaimed
theater companies and top-notch recreational
facilities, Pawtucket’s your ticket for a day of
fun or a night on the town.
There’s also year-round ice skating at the
Blackstone Valley Sports Center, 25 Andrew
Ferland Way, eye-opening exhibitions at the
Rhode Island Water Color Society in Slater
Memorial Park on Newport Avenue, where its
435 acres also offer a great place to take a stroll.
In addition the new Rhode Island Music Hall
of Fame at Hope Artiste Village was recently
named the “Top Museum Worth Traveling For”
in Rhode Island.
Or you can satisfy your palate at one of the
city’s many fine restaurants, from vegetarian
and numerous ethnic varieties to down-home
cooking at a historic diner. The enjoyment is
here, all year round, just waiting for you and
the whole family to enjoy.
The city’s annual marquee event is the Pawtucket Arts Festival, which holds sway in the
downtown and Festival Pier riverfront areas for
three weeks every September, with a dizzying
array of events, most at no charge and also with
free parking.
Building on a Proud History of Innovation
Discover how a young industrialist who left
England to launch a water-powered cotton
mill in Pawtucket changed the world forever.
More than 200 years ago, Samuel Slater had an
idea. He built a wooden clapboard structure
the size of a large garage and installed some
machinery. Then he tapped the hydropower of
both the Blackstone River and Pawtucket Falls.
The result: For the first time in this country,
cotton thread was spun by machine instead of
by hand.
Slater Mill at 67 Roosevelt Avenue (www.slatermill.org), a museum complex, offers a fascinating tribute to Samuel Slater and the industrial
innovations he began in America. You will get
an authentic glimpse of life in a 19th century
industrial village, with guides and re-enactors
in traditional garb. Touring Slater Mill will
bring you back to the early 1800s. At the adjacent Sylvanus Brown House (1758), you can
witness demonstrations of hand spinning and
weaving or watch a 16,000 lb. water wheel – the
only one of its kind in the country – power the
machine shop in the 1810 Wilkinson Mill. You
can also enjoy exhibits of 19th and 20th century machinery, plus actual productions from
an early textile factory, and relive the evolution
from handcrafting to machine production.
Just a couple of miles down the road, tour the
Rhode Island Music Hall of Fame at 1005 Main
Street (www.rhodeislandmusichalloffame.com)
in the vast Hope Artiste Village mill complex
with its dozens of resident artisans, designers
and entrepreneurs to see informative inductee exhibits celebrating Rhode Island’s great
musical heritage. Notable among the 2014
inductees is Pawtucket’s own Duke Robillard.
The attraction was recently named the Ocean
State’s “Top Museum Worth Traveling For” by
www.flipkey.com, a vacation-rental website
that’s part of the travel site TripAdvisor. While
you’re at Hope Artiste Village, be sure to stop
by New Harvest Coffee Roasters, where roaster
Eric Lepine was recently named a winner of the
2014 Coastal New England Rising Stars Award
from StarChefs.com.
Arts and Entertainment
District
Pay no sales tax on original artwork produced
and sold by hundreds of Pawtucket’s artists in
their own studios or showcased in the city’s
numerous art galleries. More than 60 Pawtucket streets are located within this 307-acre zone,
which wraps itself around the historic Slater
Mill site and the downtown area. Or take a
short hop to the Rhode Island Antiques Mall
at 345 Fountain Street, visible from I-95, which
twice Oscar-nominated, Rhode Island-born
actor and antiques aficionado James Woods has
been known to frequent.
The Pawtucket Arts District features art studios
and artists in every form, often in renovated
commercial buildings and mills: printmakers,
glass blowers, silversmiths, visual artists, graphic designers, leather workers, jewelry designers,
photographers, screen printers, dance studios
and others. Artists known the world over have
their workplaces in Pawtucket. Some of the
city’s famous artists include glass artist Howard
Ben Tré, interior designer Morris Nathanson
and Gretchen Dow Simpson, whose work has
graced 58 covers of The New Yorker magazine.
Pawtucket Arts Festival
Each September the Pawtucket Arts Festival
(www.pawtucketartsfestival.org), with the 17th
annual event on tap this year, features hundreds
of artists showcasing their arts and crafts, along
with dozens of other attractions highlighting
the visual, musical and performing arts. A
photography contest, film festival, juried art
show and open studios tours of artist live/work
spaces in mills throughout the city, along with
plays performed by local
theaters, are among the
many offerings. Almost
every color of the
musical rainbow can be
heard, including salsa,
jazz, zydeco, doo-wop,
blues, Irish, folk, pop and
classical.
The opening weekend
of the festival brings
thousands of spectators
to Festival Pier for the
Rhode Island Chinese
Dragon Boat Races & Taiwan Day Festival,
featuring spirited races on the Pawtucket River
and folk dancing and traditional music along
the pier. The festival’s crowning event each year
is the always much anticipated appearance of
the Rhode Island Philharmonic Pops Orchestra
performing their Pops in the Park concert at
Slater Memorial Park, capped by a dazzling
fireworks display.
On the Waterfront
Enjoy recreational water activities at the city’s
boat ramp, dock and fishing areas below the
Division Street Bridge. You can launch your
small boat and make your way down river to
beautiful Narragansett Bay. The city has
upgraded the Festival Pier area for the
enjoyment of residents and guests alike.
In Pawtucket’s downtown there’s the Riverfront
Summer Concert Series, which features great
music every Sunday during the summer. Blues,
swing, jazz and Dixieland fill the air at the
Veterans Memorial Amphitheatre next to the
City Hall complex on Exchange Street. The
Slater Park Summer Concert Series brightens
the summer season, including a wealth of
programming geared towards children and
families.

Full Recreational Facilities
Slater Memorial Park is much more than a venue for music or a leisurely walk. The park features tennis and basketball courts, a bike path,
fishing, picnic sites, paddle boats, a dog park,
plus a very special attraction: the Charles I. D.
Looff Carousel, the oldest stander carousel in
the world. Across from the carousel, enjoy the
creative exhibits at the Rhode Island Water Color Society. Be sure to stroll over to the nearby
Daggett House, the oldest house in Pawtucket
and one of the oldest remaining buildings in
Rhode Island. Constructed in 1685, the house
is furnished with period antiquities, including
needlework, Colonial pewter used during the
Revolutionary War and china owned by the
family of General Nathanael Greene.
On Center Stage
Musical comedies, Shakespeare and dramas
presented just “as you like it” are performed by
three resident Pawtucket theater troupes. The
Sandra Feinstein-Gamm Theatre (www.gammtheatre.org), 172 Exchange Street, describes
its mission as creating “the finest of live theater,
engaging the audience intensely in current and
recurrent issues of consequence.” The Community Players (www.thecommunityplayers.org),
established in 1921 and the oldest community
theater group in Rhode Island, fills the seats at
the Joseph Jenks Junior High School auditorium at 350 Division Street, across from McCoy
Stadium. Founded in 1984 and relocated to
Pawtucket in 2003. Since its founding in 2000
by Ricardo and Bernadet Pitts-Wiley, Mixed
Magic Theatre (www.mmtri.com), newly
relocated to 560 Mineral Spring Avenue, has
brought diverse stories to the stage through
words and song from well-known dramas to
original productions.
Live music, as it has for decades, continues
to find a welcome home in Pawtucket. Stone
Soup Coffeehouse, one of New England’s oldest
coffee houses, brings nationally recognized folk
singers into the community hall at St. Paul’s
Church, 50 Park Place. Come listen to the contemporary music at The Met, 1005 Main Street,
or visit Machines with Magnets, 400 Main
Street, Doherty’s East Avenue Irish Pub, 340
East Avenue, the News Café, 43 Broad Street,
and the German American Cultural Society of
RI, 78 Carter Avenue, for just a sampling of the
city’s live music venues.
For an entertaining visit of a different kind,
the Pawtucket Armory Arts Center LLC, 172
Exchange Street (adjacent The Gamm Theatre),
has been transformed into a community meeting place. Once a year the Foundry Artists
Association hosts their December holiday sale
of unique arts and crafts,
and the Pawtucket Open
Market Place draws thousands of shoppers into the
city’s historic downtown.
The historic Pawtucket
Armory building, built
in 1894 and listed on
the National Register of
Historic Places, also has
office space for cultural
nonprofits.

Artiste Village, 1005 Main Street. In summer
this farmer’s market moves to Slater Memorial
Park. For details, go to www.farmfreshri.org.
Community-Sponsored
Activities
An array of community-sponsored activities,
from the Pawtucket Fireworks Committee’s July
3rd pyrotechnics extravaganza at McCoy Stadium to colorful ethnic festivals (Portuguese,
Colombian, Greek, Chinese and German), are
held annually in Pawtucket. There is also the
city’s 32-year-old St. Patrick’s Parade, which
steps off on the first Saturday in March to
assure participation by some of the major Irish
marching bands in the region and the inspiring
sounds of their kilted bagpipers.
Topping off each year is Pawtucket’s Winter
Wonderland spectacular in Slater Memorial
Park in December. You can stroll through a
Victorian village consisting of buildings surrounded by hundreds of decorated Christmas
trees or revel in the special holiday spirit of
carolers, bell ringers, clowns, puppeteers and
musicians. Youngsters can also have their pictures taken with Santa and enjoy a hay wagon
ride.
