Hasbro is moving about 350 of its employees to downtown Providence. The workers should be sitting at their new desks after the first of the year.
Workers this morning were working on installing a new sign at Hasbro’s LaSalle Square offices. Apparently the sign which is being installed on the top of the building will light up and spin which of course I think is wicked cool!

Channel 10 is reporting that Hasbro will announce today their expansion to 15 LaSalle Square in Providence. The property was vacated by Blue Cross Blue Shield of Rhode Island when they move to their new headquarters are Waterplace.
A 3pm news conference with the Mayor of Providence, the Governor, and representatives from Hasbro is said to be scheduled at LaSalle Square.
Hasbro announced several months ago the expansion into Providence as the company set to move workers from Massachusetts and add more workers to the division settling in the capital city. They had made no official announcement of where in Providence they planned to settle, though rumors were pretty heavy about the LaSalle Square location.
The new location at the end of Empire Street creates a mini-Gaming District in Providence with Curt Schilling’s 38 Studios being located in another former BCBS RI building down a block away.
Hasbro will maintain its corporate headquarters in Pawtucket.
