It’s May in New England, which means it’s time to get into the garden. AARP Rhode Island is offering an online series featuring experts from the University of Rhode Island Master Gardener Program to help you get started on the 2022 growing season.
A recent AARP survey found that more than 54 percent of Rhode Islanders age 45 and older would consider building an accessory dwelling unit on their property to give loved ones a space of their own. One of AARP Rhode Island’s top 2022 General Assembly priorities is to make it easier to add an ADU by reducing or eliminating zoning requirements and other barriers.
Throughout the current session of the General Assembly, AARP Rhode Island has worked with community partners and legislators to introduce and support legislation affecting residents who are 50-plus.
Every year, AARP Rhode Island kicks off the legislative session with a reception at the State House that gives members a chance to meet with lawmakers.
