Rhode Island Infrastructure Bank

Rhode Island Infrastructure Bank is Rhode Island’s central hub for financing infrastructure improvements for municipalities, businesses, and homeowners.

They leverage limited capital in a revolving fund to offer innovative financing for an array of infrastructure-based projects, including water and wastewater, roads and bridges, energy efficiency and renewable energy, and brownfield remediation. These quality-of-life projects improve the State’s infrastructure, create jobs, promote economic development, and enhance the environment.

Established by the Rhode Island General Assembly in 1989 as the Clean Water Finance Agency, the Infrastructure Bank’s mandate was significantly expanded in 2015 to include energy and brownfield remediation initiatives. The Infrastructure Bank’s expanded mandate has significantly enhanced its ability to provide competitive financing to a broad variety of infrastructure-based projects. In conjunction with the expansion of its charter, the Infrastructure Bank was rebranded to better reflect its mission and service capabilities.
