EAST PROVIDENCE, RI – The City of East Providence is moving forward with adding 11 new critically-needed housing units on the site of the abandoned Platt-Watters school complex in Riverside and a comprehensive study to promote, activate, and revive Riverside Square. 

The formerly vacant Platt-Watters and Burnside school buildings were demolished in the spring and plans to subdivide the property into eight 7,500-square-foot lots and three 10,000-square-foot lots were approved by the East Providence Planning Board in July.
