It's shaping up to be a busy week here in Cranston, but Monday might steal much of the thunder.
Fung: Cranston Mayor Allan W. Fung is expected to announce he's running for Governor on Monday. The announcement is at 10 a.m. at Taco, Inc., a leading city manufacturer that has been a hotspot for Republican rallies and political announcements over the years. Though Fung's run comes as no major surprise to anyone (he's been mulling a bid for months), his announcement will set the stage for a potentially interesting Republican primary, thanks to Ken Block's decision to run as a Republican as well.
Arlington: The Cranston Public Library is proud to announce that the Arlington Branch Library will re-open to the public on Monday, November 4th at 12pm. The library located in the Cranston Senior Center at 1064 Cranston Street has been closed for a complete renovation since May of 2013. The redesigned library was funded by a grant from the US Department of Housing and Urban Development spearheaded by Senator Jack Reed, A dedication ceremony will be scheduled for mid November.
