The document discusses transforming a former gas station site in a historic district into an urban green space and educational site. It describes how the gas station parcel faces environmental challenges when considering adaptive reuse due to regulations around underground storage tanks. It also notes that repurposing the space will require collaboration among public, private, and non-profit groups and may face initial resistance from those wanting the neighborhood gas station to remain. A case study is then presented on efforts to repurpose a former Citgo gas station in Newport, RI into a park called Charter Spring highlighting the site's historic significance.
