About the Pawtucket Foundation
The Pawtucket Foundation was organized by representatives of local corporations and institutions to apply civic entrepreneurship to the economic transformation of the Pawtucket /Central Falls community, focusing on planning for tidewater redevelopment; for regional gateways via an MBTA commuter rail connection; and for downtown reinvestment.
The Pawtucket Foundation represents the private business and not-for-profit sector in advocating for downtown, riverfront, and “gateway” improvements within Pawtucket. As a group of civic entrepreneurs, the Foundation works to maintain a vision of the community's future and to help assemble the information, talent, and resources to realize this vision.
The Pawtucket Foundation believes that:
- Public-private partnerships are needed for positive change
- A vibrant business fosters healthy neighborhoods, compounding economic investments and creating a positive self image for the city
- Major development projects should be coordinated to enhance and reinforce each other
- Strong neighborhoods mean a stable and vibrant Pawtucket and Central Falls
- The foundation will implement identified projects and programs only when there is not another available source to 'jump start' initiatives
The Pawtucket Foundation hopes to encourage:
- A unified vision for the downtown, river and transportation gateways to the community
- A stable business tax base
- Attractive new and renovated facilities which will broaden the tax base
- The retention and expansion of existing private enterprise
- Public improvements throughout the city
