The Richmond Town Council voted 3-0 to authorize the city to pursue state funding for road paving projects. The Rhode Island Department of Transportation administers the Rhode Restore program, which covers 33% of eligible municipal road project costs. However, town officials stated that Richmond does not have allocated funds in its Fiscal Year 2026-2027 budgets to cover the required 67% match.
