摘要：	The term "brownfields" describes abandoned, idled, or underused commercial, industrial, or institutional properties, where investment for redevelopment or reuse is discouraged by the presence of light to moderate contamination from hazardous substances. The president's Brownfields Economic Redevelopment Initiative provides assistance and incentives to states, local communities, and the private sector for the assessment, cleanup, and economic reuse of these properties. The Woonasquatucket River Greenway Project, a partnership between the state of Rhode Island and the city of Providence, is one of the 16 Brownfields Showcase Communities projects, which allowed the sponsors of the project to pull together a number of traditional and innovative sources of funding and technical assistance. The project encompasses two brownfields sites: Riverside Mills and the Lincoln Lace and Braid Mill. The Greenway Project includes building a 7-km bicycle and pedestrian path stretching from the Johnston-Providence line to Waterplace Park in downtown Providence. Waterplace Park is an example of a completed urban redevelopment project and serves as an anchor for the ongoing effort along the rest of the river. Another extremely important transportation link was restored when the Rhode Island Department of Transportation, in conjunction with the Federal Highway Administration, rebuilt the Sheridan Street Bridge--a pedestrian facility over the Route 6 freeway. The Greenway Project represents an example of stimulating economic redevelopment in a disadvantaged community through the creation of an urban greenway system. It is a manageable project with clearly defined areas for strategic investment and a realistic potential for promoting residential stabilization and economic revitalization.
