In addition to exhibiting at the 2025 Southern New England American Planning Association (SNEAPA) conference in Newport, RI, Pare was involved in two well-received presentations! Annelise Boylan, E.I.T. and Matthew Alford, P.E. organized a panel for the conference, engaging four professionals to share their experience working on Action Grant projects. Annelise moderated the panel to ensure each panelist’s perspective was touched upon and to engage questions from the audience. The panel was highly informative for everyone who attended. A big thank you to the four panelists – Arnold Robinson, Ed Tanner, Jessica Veysey Powell, and Anthony Hebert – for their participation and insights on Action Grant projects!

In addition, Lance Hill, P.E. spoke alongside the City of Pawtucket, RI and the Tidewater Landing development team about how the new Centreville Bank stadium is helping to reshape the City’s future. Since opening, the stadium has attracted over 100,000 visitors and has opened the potential for innovative partnerships and further economic growth. A big thank you to the presenters and City of Pawtucket staff – Bianca Policastro, Susan Mara, Jeanne Boyle, Emily Morse, Grace Brownell, Nina Peek, and Jason Pezzullo.

Pare is proud of the contributions of our staff to this always-excellent conference!
