Grow Smart has seven employees, according to deputy director John Flaherty, and had leased offices from the university for three years.
The nonprofit looked at several properties, he said, including a few outside Providence. But the location downtown and convenient access to public transportation was important, he said.
The Lauderdale Building is owned by Lauderdale Associates LLC, which includes Bill Piccerelli of the accounting firm Piccerelli, Gilstein & Co. LLC, according to an announcement of the move made by Grow Smart RI.
