WELCOME TO PROVIDENCE'S
HISTORIC JEWELRY DISTRICT

Setting a Sparkling Example for Providence
Placed  on the National Registry of Historic Places in 1985, Providence's  historic Jewelry District is poised on the verge of a bright new future  as a dynamic live/work  neighborhood. It has the rich architectural  heritage of a once thriving manufacturing area. And thanks to the  relocation of an Interstate highway, it now offers walkable links to Downcity and new land where expansion is underway.

Jewelry District Association 
The JDA is dedicated to fostering a sense of community that will encourage  thoughtful development of this new land.  The JDA believes that a  respect for the past and a focus on creating a  walkable, bikeable,  livable environment will help make our district  welcoming for business  and residents alike.

And a letter of intent will be signed for an apartment complex on Parcel 28.
