CMW Receives SNEP Award
The funding is from the Southeast New England Program (SNEP) a regional initiative funded by Congress and managed by the US Environmental Protection Agency, working to preserve and restore coastal waters by providing grants and technical assistance to communities, local organizations and partnerships in Rhode Island and Southeastern Massachusetts. This grant will support the creation of an exterior natural landscape with a self-contained rainwater recycling and irrigation system. The outdoor spaces are intended to expand the footprint of the building and invite pedestrians and the CMW community to enjoy much needed green space, a parklet, and woodland garden. The outdoor spaces act as green infrastructure recapturing roof rainwater for irrigation and bio-retention areas to capture stormwater. Speakers included US Sen. Jack Reed, Congs. Jim Langevin and David Cicilline, Providence Mayor Jorge Elorza, and EPA Regional Administrator David Cash. Learn more about the Community MusicWorks Center here.
