![]() Introduction
Building Bridges Providence is a nonprofit (501 (c) 3) organization focused on supporting economic development and improving the quality of life in our neighborhoods. Founded in 2016, Building Bridges Providence is a project oriented team of community activists. Building Bridges Providence was created out of a grass roots campaign to defeat the construction of a new PawSox stadium in downtown Providence on Parcel 4 (public park) in the I-195 Corridor. We felt that a public park was, and is, the highest and best use for this parcel on Providence’s waterfront. In 2016, the name “Building Bridges Providence” was chosen when we decided to continue our work in order to secure funding for the Pedestrian Bridge, which crosses the Providence River while providing a centerpiece for both economic development and public use in our Capital City. |
