The Rhode Island Green Infrastructure Coalition, a coalition of over 50 non-profits, businesses, and government agencies focused on managing stormwater with natural methods has been very active in Rhode Island, focusing on projects to manage stormwater, research, and policy changes to make it easier to implement green infrastructure.

We are partnering with the City of Providence and specifically the Providence Parks Department, to create Rhode Island’s first Stormwater Innovation Center in Roger Williams Park.
