WEST NYACK, N.Y. – Solucorp Industries Ltd. announced that the City Council of East Providence and GeoNova Development Company LLC, a Solucorp proprietary molecular bonding system licensee, have scheduled a formal groundbreaking for the East Point development project for Friday, Dec. 19.
The groundbreaking ceremony is being tagged by city officials as the “first step in the rebirth of the East Providence waterfront.” GeoNova holds an exclusive license signed in 1998 to utilize Solucorp’s proprietary technologies to remediate heavy metal-contaminated brownfield sites for the purpose of their redevelopment into useful and reproductive properties. The project is funded by $5 million in low interest loans and grants already given to East Providence by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.
Although final designs have yet to be submitted, designers of the project say that the land will be developed with a mix of single-family homes, townhouses, row houses and multiple-family dwellings. The agreement with HUD requires commercial space for such things as restaurants, shops, a marina, offices, to employ at least 108 people. The remediation is targeted for completion by August 2004.

CVS to offer mobile phone image printing
WOONSOCKET – CVS/pharmacy announced plans to introduce mobile image printing capabilities at KODAK Picture Maker kiosks at more than 3,000 stores. The service, to be available in early 2004, will make CVS the first national retailer to offer customers the ability to print pictures from their image-enabled mobile phones.
Earlier this year, CVS introduced “Pictures from your Digital Camera” from KODAK Picture Maker kiosks, enabling customers to produce photo-quality prints from digital media including camera cards, CDs and disks. Starting in early 2004, enhancements to the kiosks will allow mobile camera phone users to beam their images to the kiosk using Bluetooth or Infrared technologies. Customers can then edit, enhance, and print their photos in minutes.
“CVS continues to be a retail leader in the move to digital,” said Judy Strauss Sansone, vice president of merchandising/photo for CVS. “The ability to walk into your corner CVS/pharmacy and quickly print photos directly from your mobile phone is the next wave of retail digital photo services.”
