John H. Chafee Blackstone River Valley National Heritage Corridor Commission |
|
| Amount Requested: $ 750,000 |
|
| This funding will support implementation of a National Heritage Corridor Management Plan. This request focuses on several ongoing projects as well as a few new initiatives that need funding in FY2010 and which the Commission considers to be important, both because of their consistency with the management plan and to support partnerships and partners who are critical to the long term sustainability of Corridor programs. These projects include the promotion of heritage tourism activity in Blackstone Valley; completion of the Corridor’s identity signage program; and a Blackstone Valley Heritage Farmer’s Market program. Corridor programs and projects benefit local residents, organizations and institutions, and have been proven to have a positive economic impact, improve quality of life, and create awareness nationally and internationally about the history of the Blackstone River Valley. |
