WOONSOCKET – A structure at 80 Hamlet Ave. recently was razed this week as part of Woonsocket’s effort to remove abandoned structures.

The property was purchased through the city’s Blight Reduction Program, according to a news release.

The removal of the structure on April 20 will eliminate a public safety hazard and create 10,350 square feet of open space, said Mayor Lisa Baldelli-Hunt.
