Early Momentum Builds for Rhode Island Ready
RHODE ISLAND GOVERNOR DAN MC KEE
Rhode Island Ready already has about a half-dozen applications in review following its initial launch in January.
Five sites from Johnston, Cranston, Warwick, West Warwick and Pawtucket are now in the review process, ranging from 10 to 28.5 acres. Four of these applications will be considered for official enrollment in RI Ready at the next Quonset Board of Directors meeting in April.
Interest in Rhode Island Ready continues to grow – over 40 attendees joined the first virtual information session to learn more about eligibility and take part in a question and answer period.
Program Director Chelsea Siefert was also featured on New England Real Estate Journal’s Feb. 15 Rhode Island State of the CRE Market panel to give an update on the initiative and its unique benefits for Rhode Island.
Outreach continues when Siefert presents at the R.I. League of Cities and Towns’ Annual Convention in April and continues smaller group sessions with municipal leaders across Rhode Island.
