Downtown, apparently you are not aware that many Prudence Islanders spend a great deal of money in Bristol businesses and many have apartments or homes here as well. This purchase also was not just to "help" the islanders. This gives the town of Bristol back a strategic piece of waterfront property. The waterfront development plans continue with plans to turn the armory into a boater's welcome center as well as other long range goals to maximize the usage of the waterfront by people who live, work, and visit here. Leasing the parking spaces will help offset the cost of the purchase as well.
