Summary

The bill changes state law so that in the town of Coventry any development must get the permitting authority’s approval of agreements to complete required public and private improvements before the final plan is approved. Developers can satisfy this by actually building the work, providing a financial guarantee, or a mix of both, and the town must set procedures for guarantees, inspections, and possible maintenance guarantees. The goal is to ensure that infrastructure needed for new subdivisions is built and funded reliably.
