Rhode Island lawmakers have joined Omni Development Corporation, WinnDevelopment, Rhode Island Housing and other community organizations to celebrate the opening of 83 new or completely rebuilt affordable rental homes in Providence’s West End. Called Phoenix Apartments, the $21 million energy-efficient development has been built on the sites of 22 formerly dilapidated and foreclosed multi-family properties. The project spreads along Althea, Waverly, Bellevue, Hanover, Cranston and Waldo streets, including a portion of community space on Cranston Street.
