Chafee Heritage Award to honor Senator John Chafee’s legacy and to recognize citizens and participants in the Blackstone River Valley. Nominations are sought for individuals or groups who highlight active involvement in projects, programs, and institutions that promote our cultural heritage, the preservation of the Corridor’s natural areas and/or those who strive to enrich the quality of life in the Blackstone Valley.

Past years’ recipients have included community leaders, preservation heroes, business partners, environmental advocates, and students with achievements that benefit the public across the Valley.
