History of the Citizens Advisory Committee
The Citizens Advisory Committee (CAC) of Newport, RI was formed under the authority of the Newport City Council. It was created in response to the state Comprehensive Planning and Land Use Regulation Act of 1988, which set a mandate for each Rhode Island municipality to develop a new comprehensive community plan. Approximately 50 residents of Newport were recruited by the city’s Planning Board to help in development of the plan. The Comprehensive Land Use Plan for Newport was finalized in 1991.
