Launched in 2003, The Borderlands Project aims to build greater awareness for the unique assets of the rural area that spans the CT-RI border, explore the shared threats and opportunities that this region faces, and foster a culture of learning and collaboration across this bi-state, multi-town, multi-scale region.
The purpose of this website is to provide you with information on the Project as well as stimulate discussion on its future direction. In addition, we hope to link you to related initiatives, organizations and publications that you may find of interest.
