Ed Parker Vice President CDR Maguire Corp.
Efforts are underway to turn Providence into “a vibrant, diversified, world-class city focused on the arts community and its many educational assets,” says Parker, a vice president at the transportation and civil engineering firm. He says programs developed to boost the local economy, fix its failing infrastructure and engage private investment have helped convert some of the city’s previously segmented neighborhoods and abandoned mills into “connected and revitalized communities.”
