Facts At A Glance
Project Location:
The concrete plant would be sited off of Pontiac Avenue, on Marine Dr., adjacent to the CLCF sports park. This project is located in a flood plain, in a designated wetlands and two rivers: the Pocasset and the Pawtuxet.
The Pocasset is all that separates the concrete plant from the adjacent CLCF sports field, where children play and practice sports every day. The river itself feeds into the Pawtuxet, which also borders the Cullion facility and continues out to the Narragansett Bay.
Project borders Eden Park & Garden City neighborhoods
