NEW VILLAGE INDUSTRIES

The New Village Industries Program (NVI) seeks to link the existing economy of the neighborhood with new opportunities for local business growth that will result in job creation.

The existing economy of South Providence is largely dominated by the medical care industry and opportunities are being constantly sought to help identify and fulfill the unmet needs of the local healthcare community, in general, and the three SPDC partner hospitals, in particular. An advisory committee of community residents, institutional representatives and local business executives help guide the development of the program.

Within the past three years, a concerted effort is being made to link local business development and job creation with the goal of maximizing environmental stewardship.
