He leverages his deep knowledge, resources and extensive network of business relationships to advise clients on how to secure financing, raise equity and capital, and maximize tax credits for the development of historic properties.

Commenting on his appointment, Ed said: “Historic preservation and smart, strategic redevelopment have been a passion of mine for many years. I have experienced first-hand the preservation challenges we have in Providence, and I am proud to be elected to the PPS Board, along with the other esteemed Trustees and outstanding staff who are part of the solution and dedicated to preserving our city’s historic gems.”
One of the oldest citywide preservation societies in the country, PPS was founded in 1956, as Brown University was expanding toward Benefit Street and the historic yet dilapidated homes there were slated to be demolished. Since then, PPS has grown from that small neighborhood group to a multifaceted citywide preservation organization that provide a broad range of services that fulfill its mission to improve Providence by advocating for historic preservation and the enhancement of its unique character through thoughtful design and planning.
Restivo Monacelli has been a PPS Partner in Preservation for four years. The Partners in Preservation are an esteemed group of businesses and organizations, now counting 31 members, who share in PPS’s values and vision of a more vibrant city through preservation. They support PPS’s education and advocacy work as year-round corporate partners.
