Rhode Island wants to build a new PawSox stadium.
To get to a new stadium, legislators filed S-0990 & S-0989, that included funding requirements, new eminent domain provisions, and reworking the definition of blight.
Public input on the eminent domain provisions & transparency concerns raised by the State Republican Chair, led to the removal of new eminent domain and blight provisions.
