Thursday, March 2, 2023
Statement by Ernie Almonte, Executive Director, Rhode Island League of Cities and
Towns:
"The League of Cities and Towns extends our appreciation to Speaker Shekarchi,
Chairwoman Speakman and Chairman Deller for listening to the concerns and obstacles
facing municipalities in their efforts to increase housing supply. While we have not had the
opportunity to review the details of the bills presented today, our members encourage
housing construction and rehabilitation, and removing barriers to housing, such as a lack
of infrastructure. We look forward to continuing to work with the Speaker and members of
the General Assembly to address additional details."
