NeighborWorks Blackstone River Valley, which serves northern Rhode Island, requested a $750,000 loan to leverage other funding sources to create a mixed-use development with residential and commercial office space in Warren’s Island Place Historic District. The Millrace Kitchen & Event Space is named after the property’s history as a series of former mill buildings, the development would provide space for the completion of a licensed commercial kitchen, an outdoor market, pop-up retail space, co-working offices and event space to support local entrepreneurs and generate new revenues.
