Grow Smart Rhode Island has been the leading organization in the state, advocating for affordable and workforce housing, walking cities, improved transportation, and responsible zoning. Scott Wolf, executive director of Grow Smart, joins us for this podcast.
Scott talks about how Newport and Westerly, East Providence, and Woonsocket have been leaders in developing walkable communities, reflects on the slow development in Newport’s North End, and efforts to improve rail service in Rhode Island by extending Connecticut’s commuter rail, Shoreline East, to Westerly and then Wickford.
