Narragansett-URI Coaliton
"Building a Community of Mutual Resect"
Overview
In response to concerns raised in the local community about increased college student alcohol use and related consequences in the Narragansett community yet desiring a cooperative relationship of mutual respect and trust between the communities of the Town of Narragansett and the University of Rhode Island, the Narragansett-URI Coalition was formed in 2000.
At its August 28, 2007 meeting, the Steering Committee decided that the membership of that group will constitute the Coalition; that the Coalition will meet three times a semester, and that one of those meetings will be an open presentation.
The Coalition is a group of volunteers whose mission is "to jointly work together to address problems and concerns by developing strategies and activities that foster amicable co-existence." Members represent Narragansett residents/homeowners and officials, property owners, realtors, neighborhood associations, tavern/package store owners, local community organizations, university officials and students.
The Coalition focuses on the following key areas:
- Improving the quality of life in all neighborhoods for permanent residents and URI renters
- Reducing underage drinking and harmful consequences of substance abuse
- Increasing the awareness, community involvement and support of the Coalition's work
