Neighborhood Revitalization

In 2001, PCDC collaborated with other Pawtucket agencies to create a Neighborhood Revitalization Plan for the Barton Street neighborhood. The Barton Street Neighborhood Revitalization Steering Committee oversees the implementation of the 5 year Plan. PCDC’s Neighborhood Revitalization Coordinator oversees the day to day implementation and is responsible for fund-raising to carry out the action steps identified in the Plan.

Current activities under the Revitalization Plan include the Barton Street Community Garden, the annual Barton Street Clean-up in April, the Barton Street Block Party in August, and the creation of a small neighborhood park.
