A Reform School, Reborn

CRANSTON, R.I. — This suburb of Providence has not been spared the economic decline that has swept the rest of Rhode Island, where the unemployment rate, 10.5 percent, is one of the highest in the country.

Chapel View development coming into focus

If you haven’t been to Cranston recently, you might want to take a look at the evolving Chapel View development at the intersection of Route 2 and Sockanosset Cross Road. For the past few years, the hilltop site, just south of the Garden City Shopping Center and the flashy new Whole Foods, has been under construction by its owners, Carpionato Properties, as a high-end shopping and dining destination. In recent months, enough stores and restaurants have opened there to warrant a look around, although many holes remain to be filled. It’s an attractive-looking development, well laid out around several major buildings distinctively accented with stone, beige stucco, and glass. The development is named for a Medieval-looking stone chapel at its center, which is destined eventually to become a fancy restaurant.
