Staging a Comeback (With Representative Joshua Giraldo)

Welcome to Downtown Central Falls! Joshua Giraldo, State Representative and Central Falls native, takes us inside a city that rebuilt itself from the ground up. From municipal bankruptcy to packed parks and a restaurant scene that spans the globe, Joshua shares how investing in public spaces, embracing a fiercely diverse community, and refusing to let a hard chapter define you can transform a Main Street district into a place worth showing up for.
