AGP Executive Report

Last update: 6 hours ago

Clean Water Funding: Rhode Island Infrastructure Bank closed a $45M loan for Westerly’s wastewater upgrades, including headworks rehab, odor control, clarifiers, aeration tanks, and pump-station improvements—aimed at protecting public health and the environment. Coastal Tech Leap: REGENT’s Viceroy, an all-electric wing-in-ground-effect craft, completed its first crewed full-scale flight over Narragansett Bay, clearing the way for final sea trials and planned 2027 deliveries. Energy Transparency: Rhode Island Energy customers with new advanced meters can now use the free Sense app for real-time home electricity tracking, alerts, and personalized tips to cut waste. Wildlife Shift: Experts say warm-water shark sightings off Cape Cod and Rhode Island are becoming more consistent as ocean temperatures rise, nudging more species north. Local Land Use Fight: Neighbors in Hopkinton are pushing back on clear-cutting tied to a state intent-to-cut for 62 acres near Arcadia Management Area. Public Health at the Shore: DEM’s Environmental Police are investigating a Bristol hit-and-run involving a boat that struck a swimmer near Usher Cove.
