Money has been approved by the city council as of last night to renovate the building and make it into a commercial/real estate location - https://www.bostonglobe.com/2022/11/03/metro/superman-building-providence-gets-key-approval-redevelopment-city-subsidy/

I’m honestly so torn about this, the building is gorgeous and a major state symbol, but I can understand why people wouldn’t want to subsidize a developer. We’re also in a housing shortage though, and any housing / business is better than the nothing currently residing in the building
