CUMBERLAND -- Broad Street runs through Central Falls, Cumberland and Pawtucket – and all three want to do something to revitalize it.

Today mayors Charles Moreau, of Central Falls, Daniel McKee, of Cumberland, and James E. Doyle, of Pawtucket, announced a $50,000 grant to regenerate the street and the surrounding neighborhoods.

Bob Billington, of the Blackstone Valley Tourism Council, joined the mayors in announcing the Preserve America Grant, which will be used to develop a sustainable community plan.

The group announced the grant today at the Blackstone River Theater in Cumberland.
