Grant Approved to Boost Riverside Drive Reconstruction

Goodwin College and its neighbors were thrilled to learn May 16 that the federal Economic Development Administration has approved $1.15 million for the reconstruction of Riverside Drive, the road our students and employees take to get to the River Campus. The improvements will support current and future development along Riverside Drive, as well as critical linkages to both the campus and other planned projects such as the multiuse trail network into Rentschler field. Last summer, the college spent over $150k of its own money to make temporary repairs, and has committed $300k to the required match for the grant.
