CRAFT CRAWL WILL HIGHLIGHT PAWTUCKET'S UNIQUE DRINK SCENE
8/6/2019 Valley Breeze story by Ethan Shorey
There's now little debate that the city is the unofficial craft capital of the state, says Anthony Hebert, the senior planner leading the effort to bring the inaugural Craft Crawl in September, and that success story should be celebrated.
Pawtucket's most unique and recognizable draw is its four craft breweries and two distilleries, said Hebert, and the city is looking to "highlight it in any way we can."
The Restaurant Week Committee is planning this first Craft Crawl for the same week as Restaurant Week, Sept. 22-28, to feature all six Pawtucket breweries and distilleries. Each establishment will be offering a unique drink special that week only.
Pawtucket's reputation as a craft drink destination for tourists is certainly growing regionally, said Hebert, and this event will help further spread awareness. This year will be a trial run of sorts, he said, and based on the success of the event, it could become bigger next year and even be combined with the Pawtucket Arts Festival or have an awards component mixed in.

HOUSING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT SURVEY
Message from Pawtucket Police Department
The City of Pawtucket is currently developing a five-year plan for housing, community development, and infrastructure. The plan will guide housing, community development, and infrastructure investment policy and actions, such as housing, economic development, public services, public facility, and infrastructure investment, over the next several years.
English version of the survey:
Spanish version:
Known as the "Consolidated Plan for Housing and Community Development," the study is required by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The planning process is intended to more comprehensively fulfill three basic goals: to provide decent housing, to expand economic opportunities and to provide a suitable living environment. The plan also depends on the opinions and experiences of people who are knowledgeable about housing and community development in Pawtucket- people like you.
Because we feel that your input is essential to ensuring thorough representation of the views held by people throughout the City, we urge you to complete an online survey. Comments gathered during this survey will be used to create narratives for inclusion in the Consolidated Plan. Your individual comments will remain anonymous and will be compiled with all other responses by an outside vendor.
We realize that you are very busy, but I hope you'll have the time to participate in this important study. It should take less than 10 minutes of your time. As well, please feel free to forward this e-mail and the online survey link to any other people you feel would like to participate in this survey. Please click on the above link and take the survey today!
