The Partnership

In 2007, the Blackstone Valley Tourism Council (BVTC) began working with Pawtucket, Central Falls, and Cumberland to develop regional cooperative solutions to some of the issues plaguing Broad Street.

BVTC then asked for, and was awarded, a Preserve America grant from the National Park Service to undertake a regional planning project. This planning project will help develop an action plan, or road map, which will chart the course for the larger effort to revitalize the Broad Street corridor.

Making It Better

Globally, there has been a heightened interest in Smart Growth and sustainability as a way for communities to guide development. But many of the components that characterize Smart Growth and sustainable development - a compact development pattern, mix of uses, and development within urban areas - already characterize Broad Street.

This study will embrace the existing development along Broad Street while encouraging appropriate infill and redevelopment that addresses the needs of the current residents and businesses.
