CRANSTON, R.I. (WLNE) — Cranston Mayor Kenneth J. Hopkins announced Monday that work on a new Budlong Pool facility has begun.

The demolition and construction work on the 8,000 square foot project will cost $4.7 million with $4 million coming from ARPA funds and $750,000 from congressional support.
