AGP Executive Report

Last update: 3 hours ago

EPA Permits & Public Input: A proposed EPA rule would let data centers and other industrial projects start building before air permits are finalized, weakening or removing required public comment—an issue that could hit Rhode Island communities as the state weighs new development. Coastal Flooding Watch: Newport is holding a public workshop on flooding risks at Hazard Road, a narrow route over Gooseneck Marsh that still goes underwater during high tides and storm surges. Water Safety Updates: RIDOH and DEM lifted a no-recreation advisory for Upper and Lower Melville Pond in Portsmouth after a harmful algae bloom cleared, but they’re still warning people to avoid contact with Roosevelt Lake and Pleasure Lake at Roger Williams Park. Invasive Threat to Vineyards: Rhode Island vineyards are bracing for the spotted lanternfly, now established statewide, with growers and URI/DEM monitoring traps. Climate Action Scorecard: The Environment Council of Rhode Island says the state’s climate progress has slowed and criticizes rollbacks to renewable energy progress under the Act on Climate. Primary Care Medicaid Rates: Gov. Dan McKee is backing a $16M proposal to raise Medicaid primary care reimbursements after a review found costs outpacing payments.
