Iconic skyscraper emblem of Rhode Island's economic struggles
The article discusses the long-standing vacancy of Providence’s iconic “Superman” building, the tallest in the state, which has remained empty for over a decade. Efforts to redevelop it into about 300 apartments, including affordable units, have been delayed by funding disputes and recent leadership changes.
