Message from Commission Chair, Michael Cassidy
The Blackstone Valley is a wonderfully integrated system of waterways, transportation corridors, villages, urban centers and rural communities. Its people and communities are connected through a shared history and economic underpinnings that have shaped the landscape over the years and one that continues to set an example for regional planning and preservation.

Over the past twenty years, the Blackstone Commission has endeavored to expand on the valley’s interconnectedness by supporting programs that integrate many elements in order to reinforce that sense of continuity and wholeness throughout the valley. This regional approach has strengthened our shared resolve to preserve our heritage so that future generations will understand the Valley’s significance in the development of our nation.

Mike Cassidy, Chair
