The Town of Glocester, Rhode Island, held a meeting on December 6, 2024, where key discussions focused on housing development and community planning. The meeting began with a review of recommendations from the planning board regarding the addition of low to moderate-income housing units.

One of the primary topics was the proposal to include three low to moderate-income units in a new development. The developers expressed their commitment to this initiative, indicating that they expect to receive approval from the commission. Furthermore, they are in ongoing discussions with the town planner about the possibility of designating some of the additional 13 proposed units as affordable housing.

The developers highlighted the importance of these additional units, stating that they would enhance the housing stock in the area, particularly in Northern Rhode Island and the town of Austin. They noted that there is a growing demand for housing options, especially for individuals looking to downsize. The developers referred to the site as a "mobile home community," emphasizing the improvements made to the area and the quality of the existing units.

Overall, the meeting underscored a collaborative effort between the town officials and developers to address housing needs in Glocester, with a focus on creating a well-managed and appealing community for residents. The discussions indicated a positive outlook for future housing developments that align with the town's goals for affordable living options.
