A joint Newport City council/planning workshop reviewed a state-funded build‑out study and public survey showing rising rents, a need for roughly 50 new units per year, and zoning changes and redevelopment (North End, Gateway Center) as possible ways to add middle‑class and workforce housing; staff will bring next steps and a new housing planner position to the budget.
