The Rhode Island Infrastructure Bank has awarded a total of $3.3 million in Municipal Infrastructure Grant Program (MIGP) awards to 11 cities and towns in Rhode Island. The projects identified through a request for proposals process include public park upgrades, stormwater and sewer improvements, feasibility studies for drinking water infrastructure, and infrastructure upgrades to support housing development. The Bank provided an additional $341,000 of its own revenues to support these projects.
The grants will support infrastructure needs identified as priorities by communities, such as public park upgrades in Warwick and Providence, stormwater improvements in East Providence, sewer infrastructure in Cumberland, and drinking water needs in Jamestown. The projects aim to enhance recreational opportunities, strengthen stormwater management, create more resilient cities, and support sustainable housing development.
The Municipal Infrastructure Grant Program was established to provide grants to municipalities for infrastructure projects that support economic development, job creation, housing development, and community development. Grant recipients are required to provide a local match of at least 25%.
