PVD Comprehensive Plan Update
Providence is positioned to grow into a world-class city within the next ten years. Mayor Smiley wants that growth to happen sustainably, increase Providence’s competitiveness with other cities, and nurture the things that make our city unique.
To complete the once-a-decade update of Providence’s Comprehensive Plan, we are convening the diverse perspectives of our neighbors, local businesses and community members to create policies and goals that reflect us and support our long-term goals.
