NARRAGANSETT â Hoping to make ground on campaign promises and the lack of local affordable housing stock, the town council on Monday unanimously approved the establishment of an affordable housing collaborative committee. The motionâs co-sponsor, town council president pro tem Susan Cicilline Buonanno, said the committee would function similarly to an equivalent committee in South Kingstown.
âSouth Kingstown is quite a bit ahead of Narragansett in their ideas and plans to help with this beast of trying to find affordable housing for families,â she said. âI shared the motion with [town staff] and spent some time talking about what this committee would be.â
