The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) awarded a $963,000 Project Grant under the Congressionally Identified Awards and Projects program (CFDA 11.469) to the Town of East Greenwich, Rhode Island. The funding will be used to design, permit, and oversee the construction of an interconnected shared-use pathway within Scalloptown Park and a waterfront greenway near Barbara M. Tufts Playground. Construction will include building a composting restroom, benches, shade structures, parking areas, signage, removal of invasive plants, and planting of native species. The Town will also conduct a feasibility study on the potential removal of an existing municipal transfer station adjacent to the Scalloptown Park shoreline and explore design options for future public access. The project will be completed by March 1, 2027 in collaboration with the Rhode Island Coastal Resources Management Council and the local NOAA Office of Coastal Management.
