Treasurer Magaziner to Highlight Support for Affordable Housing Bond to Spur Job Creation at Greenridge Commons

Pascoag, RI– General Treasurer Seth Magaziner will today visit Greenridge Commons in Pascoag to discuss how bond Question 3 in the March 2 special election will create jobs, spur economic growth and increase the quality of life for Rhode Islanders.

Bond Question 3 would allocate $45 million for the construction and rehabilitation of affordable housing. The bond would also fund $20 million in community revitalization projects that will improve the social, economic and health resiliency of neighborhoods.

Earlier this month, Treasurer Magaziner launched a public awareness campaign in support of all seven bond measures on the March 2 special election ballot. Treasurer Magaziner has long been a proponent of bonding to spur a broad-based economic recovery, with this opportunity putting thousands of Rhode Islanders affected by the COVID-19 pandemic back to work. Last week, Treasurer Magaziner visited the Port of Davisville as one in a series of stops being made to highlight the need for passage of all seven bond questions.
