Input Wanted About Blackstone River Valley Corridor
The National Heritage Corridor has posted a survey asking for feedback about recreation, tourism and more along the historic river.
PAWTUCKET, RI — The non-profit Blackstone River Valley National Heritage Corridor is looking for input on how best to steward the region's natural, recreational, and historic resources into the future.
The Blackstone River travels through 25 communities in Massachusetts and Rhode Island and is known as "the Birthplace of America's Industrial Revolution." The corridor, with its bikeway, guided paddle tours, and historic sites attracts visitors from near and far.
The National Heritage Corridor says it wants to reach as many residents as possible, so the survey date has been extended to July 15th.
