The North Providence Planning Department serves as staff to the
North Providence Planning Board, which is charged with formulating
and updating the Town’s Comprehensive Plan and the Town’s
5 year Capital Improvement Budget. The Planning Department also
assists the Board in reviewing and approving all subdivisions and
land development projects.
In conjunction with these tasks, the Planning Department is the
repository for all Zoning Maps, Zoning Board Decisions and zoning
regulations.

to seek advice from the department as to the legal use of a property,
subdivision regulations and any land use questions. Maps concerning
Census Information, Flood Plain, and Zoning can be viewed in the
department.
As a densely populated suburban community, the Town of North Providence
has focused upon redevelopment and revitalization projects in order
to stabilize the tax base and promote economic growth. Most noteworthy
are the Centredale and Marieville Streetscape projects, which feature
period lighting, simulated brick sidewalks, street trees and benches.
The impact of these projects has been significant in these older
mill villages as the town attempts to attract more pedestrian and
commercial activity in these older urban centers. Similarly, through
private investment the village of Fruit Hill is experiencing the
same type of improvements. These improvements were also made possible
with the creation of Commercial Village Zoning District, which
regulated building styles and facades.
The Planning Department also oversees the Town’s Low Interest
Loan Programs that assist income eligible applicants make 1st time
home purchases, improve their existing property or improve their
small business. Applications and qualification information is readily
available.
