✨ #ThrowbackThursday – Lighting Up Grant’s Block Park! ✨
F&S Electric, Inc. is proud to have played a role in the revitalization of Grant’s Block Park, located at the corner of Westminster and Union Streets in downtown Providence, RI. Completed in May 2024, this transformation—led by Cornish Associates with design collaboration from Ryan Associates, Union Studio Architects, and Landscape Creations—has turned this space into a welcoming community hub.
Our team enhanced the park’s atmosphere with expertly installed overhead string lighting and perimeter lighting, creating a warm and inviting glow that encourages people to gather, stroll, and relax—day or night. 💡🌆

Landscape architecture is a long game, and projects often take years to come to fruition. Given that, there is no better feeling than seeing a space you’ve designed filled with happy people.
Grant’s Block in Providence, RI, is such a space. What was once an empty, albeit much-used, lot has been transformed into a flexible open space that once again hosts beloved community events such as Movies on The Block, a series of free outdoor film screenings.
Kudos to our fantastic client, Buff Chace and cornishassociates, design partners unionstudioarch and horsleywittengroup, and contractor extraordinaire landscapecreationsri

Thank you to the National Association of Landscape Professionals (NALP) landscape_assoc for featuring Grant’s Block as a “Landscape of the Month” 🎉
This time of year, it’s especially rewarding to see the space buzzing with life—neighbors grabbing coffee, catching up with friends, walking their dogs, and gathering for community events 🙌
