R.I. Gen. Laws § 37-8-1.6

The state of Rhode Island has determined that it no longer needs the property and buildings which once served the people as the Pawtucket armory. The city of Pawtucket has determined that it can use the property and buildings for municipal purposes. Therefore, notwithstanding any law to the contrary, the director of the department of administration is hereby authorized and empowered to convey the state’s entire interest in the Pawtucket armory to the city of Pawtucket. The consideration for the sale is one dollar ($1.00). The city of Pawtucket is responsible for all costs associated with the conveyance.
