We are thankful to EcoRI News for the article today about the recent $480,000 grant awarded us by the Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management (DEM), entitled “New R.I. Food Hub Coming to Site of Burned-Down Old Mill” by TIM FAULKNER/ecoRI News staff.
We are one of nine polluted sites awarded a combined $3.7 million for cleanup and redevelopment. These funds will help us convert our new site on Kinsley Ave in the Valley Neighborhood in Providence — a blighted, fire-damaged site — into a food and agricultural campus to provide jobs and local food.
