PROVIDENCE, R.I. (WPRI) — Providence has agreed to pay nearly $278,000 to evict a former downtown events venue from the property it has leased since 2016.
The city had been trying to evict Skyline at Waterplace for almost a year. The owners were accused of violating their lease by not keeping the property in good condition.
Target 12 obtained a copy of the settlement, which shows the city will pay the venue a one time payment of $277,905.87, which is comprised of rent collected by the city from Skyline during its eviction process and subsequent appeal.
