Town of Burrillville

The Town of Burrillville presents a strong community-oriented atmosphere that prioritizes public safety and health, quality recreation programs and facilities, good schools, and clean environment. The community focuses on well-balanced economic development that prioritizes planned industrial, commercial and retail developments, rehabilitated and reinvigorated historic village centers, diversified and affordable housing opportunities and preserved open space and rural character.

Description:
Accomplishing the goals of the community involves the dedication of many residents who volunteer throughout the year on many boards and commissions that are appointed by the Town Council. These boards and commissions are empowered to make specific decisions related to their field of expertise. From time to time the Town Council may establish a special board or group to address a specific issue or project. These boards have limited terms based on the task or assignment. Powers and duties are established by the Town council to meet the objectives of the board or group.

History:
Burrillville is a beautiful rural community of 58 square miles located in the northwest corner of Rhode Island. The Town is centrally located in southern New England and is an easy commute to Providence, Boston, Worcester and Hartford. With abundant open space, woodlands, pristine lakes, waterways and glorious scenery, Burrillville has a rich proud history, dating back to America’s Industrial Revolution. We enjoy a wonderful quality of life and the Town provides ample opportunity for small business and commercial investment.
