What does a better East Providence look like? To us, it’s a city that is affordable, accessible, inclusive, and resilient.
We’re proud to share the five core values that drive our work here at EPiC. Swipe through to see our vision for East Providence and how we’re working to build a city where every single one of our neighbors can thrive.
What is EPiC all about? We created a visual to represent the core values that make up our vision for the future of East Providence.

Tonight, we showed up in support of the resolution adopting the East Providence Safe Streets and Roads for All Safety Action Plan. The plan proposes clear strategies, projects, and policy recommendations to improve roadway safety for all users.
We are pleased to share that the East Providence City Council voted unanimously to approve the resolution. We would like to extend our sincere thanks to Council President @rodericksbob , Council Vice President Frank Rego, Anna Sousa City Councilwoman Ward 2 , Council Member Frank Fogarty, and Council Member Rick Lawson.
We also appreciate @mayorbobdasilva and his administration for their steadfast commitment and support of this plan.
Finally, EPiC would like to congratulate our own @brennerlister on her appointment to the Zoning Board of Review. We thank Council members Rodericks, Rego, and Fogarty for supporting her appointment and recognizing her dedication to our community.

In addition to EPiC members, we were also joined by folks who heard of our event on social media and an additional group of volunteers from Citizens Bank.
We'd like to extend a huge thank you to everyone who took time out of their day to help clean up our own little corner of this planet. 🌎🌲🗑️
