This project is funded, in part, from a grant from Rhode Island Housing, through the Acquisition and Revitalization Program.  The PRA issued an Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for design teams interested in the project. Twelve highly-qualified teams from the region and beyond responded and 5 have been shortlisted to develop design ideas for the facility. A winning team will be selected at the November 14 PRA Board meeting.
