| Desc | OUTREACH AND COMMUNCATION/PUBLIC POLICY1)GROW SMART RI EMBARKED ON A STEPPED UP COMMUNICATIONS STRATEGY FOR TWO OVERRIDING PURPOSES A. TO SUPPORT AN EXPANDED FUNDRAISING CAPACITY, AND B.) TO INCREASE GROW SMART'S INFLUENCE WITH TARGETED OPINION LEADERS, DECISION MAKERS AND THE PUBLIC.2)STAFF INITIALLY ENGAGED THE SERVICES OF THE JAI COMMUNICATIONS GROUP (JAI CG) OF PROVIDENCE IN FEBRUARY, 2015 TO HELP US DEVELOP AND EXECUTE A COMMUNICATIONS STRATEGY TO MAXIMIZE OUR LIMITED CAPACITY.OUR STRATEGIES NOW INCLUDE EARNED MEDIA, SOCIAL MEDIA (INCLUDING DIGITAL STORY-TELLING AND ADVERTISING), EMAIL MARKETING, EVENTS AND PAID ADVERTISING.3)SOCIAL MEDIA: THIS IS A STRATEGY THAT HAS PROVEN QUITE SUCCESSFUL OVER THE PAST TWO YEARS. DURING THAT TIME, OUR FAN BASE ON TWITTER HAS INCREASED 29% WITH A TOTAL OF 1,375 FOLLOWERS. OUR FAN BASE ON FACEBOOK HAS INCREASED 60% WITH A TOTAL OF 2,112 FOLLOWERS. FACEBOOK IS ALSO THE PRIMARY PLATFORM ON WHICH WE PROMOTE THE AWARD-WINNING #SHARECOMMUNITY DIGITAL STORY-TELLING CAMPAIGN. 4)EMAIL MARKETING: GROW SMART RI HAS BEEN UTILIZING CONSTANT CONTACT SINCE 2003 TO PRODUCE AND DISTRIBUTE NEWSLETTERS, EVENT INVITATIONS (AND RSVP'S), ACTION ALERTS, SURVEYS AND OTHER COMMUNICATIONS TO A GROWING LIST OF SUBSCRIBERS, NOW TOTALING 6,207. NET GROWTH IN OUR SUBSCRIBER BASE WAS ALMOST 4% FROM 2015 TO 2016.5)DIRECT MAIL: DIRECT MAIL PIECES IN 2016 INCLUDED ITEMS SUCH AS GROW SMART RI'S ANNUAL REPORT (DISTRIBUTED PRIMARILY ELECTRONICALLY IN 2016) AND THE BIENNIAL POWER OF PLACE SUMMIT SPECIAL SUPPLEMENT.PUBLIC POLICYWE ORGANIZED OUR POLICY AND PROGRAM WORK IN 2016 UNDER THE FOUR GOALS DISCUSSED BELOW. GOAL 1. CONTRIBUTE GROW SMART'S EXPERTISE AND POSITIVE PERSPECTIVE TO RHODE ISLAND'S FORMULATION AND IMPLEMENTATION OF A SUSTAINABLE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PLAN. WE BELIEVE THAT WE MADE A LOT OF PROGRESS ON THIS OBJECTIVE DURING THE LAST YEAR, ESPECIALLY THROUGH OUR DEVELOPMENT OF A PROPOSAL FOR A TARGETED INFRASTRUCTURE INVESTMENT GRANT PROGRAM FOR MUNICIPALITIES, OUR CONDUCTING MULTIPLE WORKSHOPS FOR MUNCIPAL OFFICIALS ON CREATIVE AND PROVEN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT STRATEGIES, OUR EXTENSIVE INVOLVEMENT IN SHAPING AND SUCCESSFULLY PROMOTING THE GREEN ECONOMY BOND, OUR SIGNIFICANT ROLE IN SHAPING AND SUCCESSFULLY PROMOTING THE HOUSING OPPORTUNITY BOND, AND OUR BACKING OF TWO OTHER VOTER APPROVED BONDS OFFERING A CLEAR BOOST TO THE STATE'S ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT EFFORTS-- THE PORT INFRASTRUCUTURE IMPROVEMENT BOND AND THE HIGHER EDUCATION/INNOVATION CAMPUS BOND. MORE DETAILS ON THE HIGHLIGHTS OF SEVERAL OF OUR EFFORTS TO POSITIVELY INFLUENCE RI'S ECONOMC DEVELOPMENT OUTCOMES OVER THE PAST YEAR FOLLOW.A.DEVELOPING AND ADVANCING A PROPOSAL FOR A RHODE ISLAND MUNICIPAL INFRASTRUCTURE INVESTMENT PROGRAM TARGETED TO RI'S URBAN, TOWN AND VILLAGE CENTERS FOR THE PAST YEAR, GROW SMART RI HAS BEEN PARTNERING WITH THE RHODE ISLAND BUILDERS ASSOCIATION (RIBA) TO ENCOURAGE CREATION OF A STATE INFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENT GRANT PROGRAM MODELED AFTER THE SUCCESSFUL MASSWORKS GRANT PROGRAM IN MASSACHUSETTS. THE MASSWORKS PROGRAM OFFERS A COMPETITIVE, NO-MATCH GRANT PROGRAM TO MUNICIPALITIES TARGETED LARGELY TO URBAN AND TOWN CENTER LOCATIONS FOR UPGRADING CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE TO ATTRACT PRIVATE INVESTMENT IN DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS.. THIS TOPIC WAS A FOCUS OF A RESEARCH COLLABORATION WITH BROWN UNIVERESITY AND A WORKSHOP AT GROW SMART RI'S JUNE 21, 2016 POWER OF PLACE SUMMIT FEATURING THE DIRECTOR OF THE MASSWORKS PROGRAM AND A REPRESENTATIVE OF THE MASSACHUSETTS SMART GROWTH ALLIANCE.B.PROMOTING A GOOD PLAN AND STRATEGY FOR REDEVELOPMENT IN NEWPORT'S NORTH END.DURING 2016 WE HAD MEETINGS AND EXTENSIVE DISCUSSIONS WITH A NUMBER OF KEY STAKEHOLDERS POSITIONED TO PLAY A SIGNIFICANT ROLE IN MOVING THIS INITIATIVE FORWARD. WE BELIEVE THAT OUR INVOLVEMENT IN AND UNDERSTANDING OF THE STATE TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM AND OF SUCCESSFUL REDEVELOPMENT EFFORTS LOCALLY AND AROUND THE COUNTRY CAN BE USEFUL RESOURCES IN ELEVATING AND FOCUSING THE DISCUSSION ABOUT THE BEST APPROACH FOR NEWPORT TO PURSUE ON THIS CRITICAL COMMUNITY REVITALIZATION AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITY. GOAL 2: SUPPORT STATE AND MUNICIPAL EFFORTS TO INCENTIVIZE GROWTH IN REVITALIZED URBAN AND TOWN CENTERS. A FEW HIGHLIGHTS OF OUR WORK IN THIS CRITICAL ARENA FOLLOW: A. WE WERE HEAVILY INVOLVED IN SUPPORTING AN AMBITIOUS BILL TO PROVIDE AN INFUSION OF $150 MILLION INTO THE EXISTING STATE HISTORIC TAX CREDIT PROGRAM, A PROGRAM THAT HAS BEEN OPERATING FOR THE PAST FEW YEARS WITH ONLY MODEST AND UNPREDICTABLE FUNDING. WHILE THIS LEGISLATION DID NOT PASS, THE STATE HISTORIC TAX CREDIT PROGRAM, WITH OUR STRONG BACKING, WAS EXTENDED BEYOND ITS JUNE 30, 2016 SUNSET DATE. B. ANOTHER RELATED COMMUNITY REVITALIZATION ISSUE ON WHICH WE CONTINUED TO BE VOCAL DURING THE LAST YEAR WAS IMPROVING THE REBUILD RI TAX CREDIT PROGRAM.GOAL 3: PROMOTE A SUSTAINABLY FUNDED STATE AND REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM THAT PROVIDES RESIDENTS, VISITORS AND BUSINESSES WITH USER-FRIENDLY TRANSPORTATION OPTIONS. ONE OF THE MOST CRITICAL COMPONENTS OF A VIBRANT ECONOMY WITH A HIGH QUALITY OF PLACE IS A WELL-MAINTAINED TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM THAT EFFICIENTLY AND AFFORDABLY MOVES PEOPLE AND GOODS AND THAT CONNECTS RHODE ISLANDERS WITH ONE ANOTHER, WITH THE REGION AND WITH ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY. GROW SMART RI FOCUSED ITS TRANSPORTATION ADVOCACY WORK THIS YEAR ON THE FOLLOWING ITEMS. A.INFLUENCING THE REDESIGN PLANNING FOR THE 6/10 CONNECTORSTAFF INVESTED SIGNIFICANT TIME AND WAS INFLUENTIAL IN ACHIEVING A POSITIVE OUTCOME IN THE HIGH-PROFILE CONTROVERSY ABOUT HOW BEST TO RECONSTRUCT THE DECREPIT 6/10 INTERCHANGE AND SHAPE ITS IMPACT ON THE LONGER TERM RECONSTRUCTION OF THE 6/10 CORRIDOR FROM DOWNTOWN PROVIDENCE TO CRANSTON. ON DECEMBER 8, 2016, A WELL-RECEIVED COMPROMISE DESIGN CONCEPT WAS JOINTLY UNVEILED BY GOVERNOR RAIMONDO AND PROVIDENCE MAYOR ELORZA. WE BELIEVE THE PLAN REFLECTS SMART GROWTH PRINCIPLES AND PRIORITIES, INCLUDING A RECONNECTED STREET GRID WITH NEW BIKE/PED CONNECTIONS THAT WILL HELP TO REVITALIZE 6/10 CORRIDOR NEIGHBORHOODS AND YIELD UP TO 30 ACRES OF LAND TO EVENTUALLY BE FREED UP FOR MIXED-USE COMMUNITY AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT. GOVERNOR RAIMONDO ACTUALLY ENLISTED US TO PLAY A LEADERSHIP ROLE IN HELPING TO BROKER THIS COMPROMISE. B. MASS TRANSIT VISION & MASTER PLANNING:STAFF WAS IN CLOSE CONTACT WITH THE GOVERNOR'S OFFICE THROUGHOUT 2016 IN OUR LONGSTANDING EFFORTS TO PERSUADE THE GOVERNOR TO DIRECT THE DEVELOPMENT OF A STRATEGIC STATEWIDE PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION VISION AND MASTER PLAN CRITICAL TO MAKE RHODE ISLAND MORE COMPETITIVE FOR RETAINING AND ATTRACTING YOUNG TALENT AND THE EMPLOYERS THAT SEEK THEM. IN EARLY 2017, THE GOVERNOR AUTHORIZED THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE TYPE OF PLAN WE HAVE BEEN ADVOCATING FOR DURING THE LAST TWO YEARS. GOAL 4: STRENGTHEN RHODE ISLAND'S AGRICULTURAL SECTOR AND FOOD SYSTEM.CAPITALIZING ON NEW HIRE SCOTT MILLAR'S DECADES OF EXPERIENCE HELPING RURAL AND SUBURBAN COMMUNITIES PROMOTE LOW IMPACT DEVELOPMENT AND SUSTAINABLE ECONOMIC ACTIVITY, WE HAVE SHIFTED MUCH OF OUR AGRICULTURE AND FOOD SYSTEM WORK FROM A FOCUS ON STATE POLICY REFORM TO A FOCUS ON LOCAL POLICY REFORM AND TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE. THE SPECIFIC HIGHLIGHTS OF OUR WORK DURING 2016 ON STRENGTHENING RI'S AGRICULTURAL SECTOR AND FOOD SYSTEM INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING: A. LOCAL CAPACITY BUILDING TO STRENGTHEN AGRICULTURE, FORESTRY AND FOOD SYSTEMSGROW SMART RI DEVELOPED A NEW TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE SERVICE IN 2016 FOR COMMUNITIES TO BUILD LOCAL CAPACITY FOR AGRICULTURE, FORESTRY AND FOOD SYSTEMS. THERE ARE SOME EXISTING TECHNIQUES THAT CAN HELP FARM AND FOREST OWNERS GENERATE MORE REVENUE FROM THEIR LAND AND PREVENT WORKING LANDSCAPES FROM BEING CONVERTED TO OTHER MORE INTENSIVE USES. IMPLEMENTING THESE TECHNIQUES REQUIRE SOME TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE.GROW SMART RI IS OFFERING SUCH ASSISTANCE TO COMMUNITIES SO THAT THEY CAN EXPLORE A MENU OF OPTIONS. SO FAR, THE TOWNS OF EXETER AND MIDDLETOWN HAVE SIGNED AN AGREEMENT WITH US TO RECEIVE THIS ASSISTANCEB. SCITUATE RESERVOIR WATERSHED COMMUNITY ASSISTANCE IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE PROVIDENCE WATER SUPPLY BOARD, GROW SMART RI IS OFFERING TECHNICAL PLANNING ASSISTANCE TO THE TOWNS OF FOSTER, GLOCESTER, AND SCITUATE, ALL OF WHICH COMPRISE THE SCITUATE RESERVOIR WATERSHED. THE ASSISTANCE LISTED ABOVE FOR LOCAL CAPACITY BUILDING ALSONG WITH OTHER SMART GROWTH TECHNIQUES THAT CAN PROTECT WATER QUALITY AND COMMUNITY CHARACTER.C. RHODE ISLAND WOODLAND PARTNERSHIP SCOTT MILLAR ASSISTED THE WOODLAND PARTNERSHIP IN PREPARING A STRATEGIC PLAN AFTER HELPING THEM TO OBTAIN A GRANT TO FUND THE EFFORT.D. RETAINING STATE FUNDING FOR THE LOCAL AGRICULTURE AND SEAFOOD ACT ("LASA") PROGRAM WORKING WITH NUMEROUS ALLIES, WE WERE SUCCESSFUL IN 2016 IN SECURING A CONTINUED $ 100,000 STATE GOVERNMENT ANNUAL COMMITMENT TO THE LASA TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE GRANT PROGRAM FOR FARMERS AND FISHERS. | Desc |
