RHODE ISLAND â In less than a month, Rhode Islanders will be deciding whether or not to authorize $400 million in bond funding â $47 million of which would go a long way towards green initiatives.
If approved by the voters on March 2, the Beach, Clean Water and Green Bond, which will appear as Question 2 on the special election ballot, will fund eight different initiatives.Â
âGreen bonds support everything I love about Rhode Island, and many people love about Rhode Island,â said Department of Environmental Management Director Janet Coit. âThe clean blue waters, the parks, our open spaces, the vibrancy and diversity of our communities.â
