Rhode Island ('95 - Community-based Recycling Business Development)
The primary goal of this project is to build recycling capacity within distressed communities through hands-on development of local recycling businesses. Community benefits will include diverting recyclable materials from landfill disposal, increased economic activity, and job creation. Rhode Island will contract with a nonprofit community development corporation (CDC) to perform research, develop business plans, and help meet the needs of other underdeveloped businesses. This project will result in a feasibility study and business plan for a minimum of three recycling businesses, increase the ability of community development corporations to assist recycling businesses, and refine business skill development in the target industry.
