Beach, Clean Water and Green Bond Approved with 78.3% Support!



On Tuesday, Rhode Island voters approved the Beach, Clean Water and Green Bond with an astounding 78.3% support. Voters across the state supported the $74 million bond question, with all 39 cities and towns posting returns of at least 60% in support. The message is loud and clear: Rhode Islanders care deeply about the quality of the environment. The funding provided by this bond will leverage tens of millions of additional dollars that will be invested in cleaning our water, improving public health and the resilience of our communities, and creating more inviting beaches, parks and campgrounds for the enjoyment of all Rhode Islanders. This is an historic opportunity for our State Park System!



Many THANKS to all who worked to develop and support Question 2 – and especially to DEMers Michael Healey, Emily Lynch and Ryan Mulcahey who really poured it on these past few months. (Thanks also to those of you who promoted Question 2 with lawn signs. If you bring them back to the 4th Floor of the Foundry or to Parks HQ, DEM will see that the metal is reused and the plastic is recycled.)
