This is a video that shows just how committed the town of North Kingstown is to helping the needy. The tactic of "taking the old and making it new" applies here, as the old Navy housing in North Kingstown is being converted to new, environmentally friendly affordable housing. The official name, "Kingstown Crossing" is a $26 million project.
Upon completition in 2010, 104 apartment units were put up and made available to live in. By the end of 2012, estimates suggest that number could double. Also built around the housing complex was a playground, basketball court, daycare center, and community center.
Rhode Island and North Kingstown Representatives described it best when they say this event was a "shot in the arm for the economy." As a resident of North Kingstown, it is uplifting to see that efforts are being made to better our community.
