Located within the Bristol Waterfront Historic District, the Bristol Industrial Park project site had been vacant since the 1970s. After years of neglect, rehabilitation of the historic site and restoration of its economic role in the community has begun under new ownership by Mosaico Business & Community Development Corporation.
The WaterFire Arts Center development in Providence, a 1929 building, now serves as a multi-use arts center and a social enterprise venture benefiting the large arts community in Providence.
