Environment and Watershed Protection and Development Bond Measure
Rhode Island · November 3, 2026
What this measure does
Issue $55 million in bonds to fund environmental preservation and water infrastructure projects
A yes vote means
The government borrows $55 million to fund environmental preservation and water infrastructure projects.
A no vote means
The government does not borrow this money and these specific projects don't get funded through this bond.
Simple explanation
Think of this like taking out a loan to fix up your house—the government would borrow $55 million now to pay for projects that protect nature and improve water systems, and then pay back the loan over time through taxes. It's betting that these environmental improvements are worth the cost.
