Cranston Wins Working Cities Design Grant
Governor Gina M. Raimondo celebrated the seven Rhode Island cities and towns that won design grants as part of the Working Cities Challenge.
PROVIDENCE, R.I. - Governor Gina M. Raimondo joined Federal Reserve Bank of Boston President and CEO Eric S. Rosengren last week at AS220 in Providence to celebrate the seven Rhode Island cities and towns that won design grants as part of the Working Cities Challenge. The winners include teams from Central Falls, Cranston, East Providence, Newport, Pawtucket, Providence and Westerly.
"This is how we're going to turn Rhode Island's economy around - one community at a time," Raimondo said. "Working Cities has assembled a diverse group of people who are deeply committed to Rhode Island and to their neighbors. I look forward to celebrating these teams' achievements in the next six months."
More information about the grants and each city's proposal is available here, and additional photos can be found on the Governor's Flickr site.
