Actual proposed investment is $200,000,000 - a facility two foot ball fields long and half that wide. behind Palace Ave. Plus enhancements to existing facilities.

This is a very noisy and stinky proposal. Lots of new pollution.

A similar facility in Liege Belgium generates 66 db level noise five miles from the airport at Saint-Georges-sur-Meuse and 56 db noise out another five miles. That is the equivalent of somewhere over Coventry RI on a typical summer night when people are trying to sleep with their windows open. On the northeast side, during winter conditions, significant noise reaches to South Providence (civil rights problems) and Barrington/East Providence.

At Liege the government bought up or sound proofed 11,000 homes in the area. Here in R.I. there would be many more homes so affected but there are no funds proposed for sound mitigation. The proposed funding for this project would be worked out through Senator Reed's office. His number is 401 943-3100.
