To the editor:
I am writing to give everyone a heads up that January 8 is the deadline to submit comments to the RI Department of the Environmental Management regarding Wetland Application #22-0264/Mainstay/Sleep Inn Hotel on Gooding Avenue.
The proposed hotel development would displace 50,000 square feet of wetlands. So, if you are concerned about flooding due to wetland destruction, please let your voice be heard. Cement does not absorb water, and storms are getting more severe.
The DEM contact is Martin Wencek, Program Supervisor, Office of Water Resources, RI DEM, 235 Promenade St., Providence, RI 02908.
