Panelists touched on challenges such as seniors' ability to age in place and millennials' struggle to find affordable housing.
NEWPORT — The Aquidneck Island Planning Commission hosted a forum last Friday focused on Aquidneck Island's housing issues.
Held in the Community College of Rhode Island Newport Campus auditorium, the forum featured three panel discussions followed by break-out sessions for attendees to share their perspectives. The findings from the discussions are being complied and will be available at aquidneckplanning.org, according to a statement from the organization.
“We are focused on creating a shared vision of the future success of the island, so we wanted to bring together people from different backgrounds to work together on a solution to ensure that the island's housing availability meets our needs now and in the future,” John Shea, the planning commission's executive director, said in the statement.
