The City of Providence is embarking on at least a $300 million capital program for projects within the Providence Public School District (PPSD) within the next five years. PPSD is comprised of approximately 40 facilities and 4 million square feet. Voters approved a $160M bond in 2018 and a $140M bond in 2020 to help support this effort. As part of this initiative the PPSD is looking to improve the Auditorium at the Hope Highschool. The Hope High School will be undergoing a renovation project that is anticipated to start in the fall of 2021.
