RFEOI -01 - Oldham School Small Business Incubator Project - Building & Site Development

The City of East Providence is seeking Expressions of Interest from vendors (“applicants”) with expertise to lead the development of the former Oldham School, a prominent historic structure owned by the city, located at 640 Bullocks Point Avenue (map 413, block 11, parcel 001). The city is looking for expertise in developing mixed-use housing and multi-purpose community facilities, among other areas. Recently, the city completed a feasibility study to explore developing the site as a multi-use campus focused on a community center and small business incubator/accelerator. Proposals should aim to preserve the historic architectural features of the former school. Generations of families have attended school there, and it remains a key landmark of the community. Successful proposals will demonstrate a commitment to maintaining the exterior architectural features, adherence to the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation, and a clear benefit to the city and surrounding community.
