The Blackstone Valley - Tomorrow 

The Visitor Center in Pawtucket provides a one stop source of information for Blackstone Valley Visitors..

Recognition of the accomplishments made in enhancing the Blackstone Valley region is met just as strongly by the realization that the work has just begun. The region, especially the older industrial cities, is continuing to grapple with developing an economy suited for the 21st century and improving its ailing infrastructure. There is still a long way to go in cleaning up the Blackstone River and making it more accessible and usable for recreation (and perhaps swimming), and anti-pollution efforts are expected to continue.

Several efforts have begun to bring more visitors to the region. A bikeway linking the East Bay bikeway with the Massachusetts border is partly operational and will be completed in the next couple of years.. Accessibility will also be improved through enhancements to several parks along the river's banks. Moreover, the Visitor Center in downtown Pawtucket, managed by the Tourism Council, makes information on the Blackstone Valley National Heritage Corridor and the State of Rhode Island more accessible for visitors. A River Education Center, and an interactive exhibit to education children and adults about the Blackstone River is being built at the Central Falls Landing 

With the help of all residents of the Valley and the entire state, these efforts can be strengthened, along with the ability to achieve even greater success in revitalizing the Blackstone Valley and making it a region all Rhode Islanders can be proud of.
