Rice Street Business and Property Owner Resource Toolkit

The reconstruction of Rice Street will have significant benefits for the surrounding community. However, it will also have some impacts, both temporary and permanent, for nearby businesses and property owners.

The Rice Street project team has created this toolkit as a resource for businesses and property owners seeking additional information and/or assistance during this time. This guide will be refreshed periodically throughout the project as new information becomes available.

Residents

There are several ways for residents and local business owners to participate directly in the reconstruction process. People includes opportunities for youth and community, jobs/training for area residents, and addressing traffic and public safety.

Rice Street’s design and operations can aid in enhancing the public realm. Property includes property improvements, redeveloping property, utility connections, directing traffic, and parking and loading changes.
