Merritt was one of the people who helped make the idea of protecting resources a goal for all islanders. As a founding board member of the Aquidneck Island Land Trust, Merritt played a key role in preserving open spaces and cultural sites that are intrinsically Aquidneck Island. He served on the boards of Child & Family Services and The Foundation For Newport, and was a principal of the Newport Appraisal Group. In recognition of his ability to find creative solutions to difficult problems, the Rhode Island Department of Environmental Manage- ment awarded Merritt the 2000 Alfred Hawkes Award for Peter Merritt, July 15, 1943–June 15, 2000 environmental achievement. The Aquidneck Island Partner- ship dedicates this publication to Merritt, honoring his vision and the steps being taken to achieve it. 2 Aquidneck Island: Shaping a Future In the last decade, development pressures have made island residents more aware of the limitations of their island boundaries. In 1997, Aquidneck Islanders undertook a community visioning process to determine those attributes of their island that they wanted to enhance and preserve for future generations. People sought to preserve land and public access points, attract good jobs, improve transportation, enhance neighborhood safety, prepare for an aging population, and provide quality education and health care. These desires are captured in the 1999 publication Aquidneck Island: Our Shared Vision. Shaping a Future: Aquidneck Island Achievements 1997–2002 documents the progress islanders have made towards their vision by highlighting recent accomplishments in four key areas identified in the Shared Vision: a Livable Landscape, Social Well-being, a Strong Local Economy, and Multiple Modes of Transportation. These stories show how individual accomplishments can collec- tively improve community life. For those who would like to join in these efforts, or for more information, contact the organizations listed beginning on page 22. Those who would like to create and implement a guiding vision for their own communities can now look to Aquidneck Island’s example. 3 Preserving the island’s unique character and quality of life 4 The 2001 People’s Choice Award Winners: Leaders of the Aquidneck Island Shared Vision As the culmination of the 2001 Aquidneck Island Celebration, a month-long series of events showcasing the accom- plishments islanders have made towards achieving their shared vision, the Aquidneck Island Partnership hosted a reception to honor the winners of the People’s Choice Awards. The winners are models of the progress being made by the community since 1997 to preserve or enhance natural, social, and economic resources on Aquidneck Island.
