AGP Executive Report

Last update: 5 hours ago

West Nile Virus Watch: Rhode Island health and environmental officials confirmed West Nile Virus in mosquito samples from Cranston, Providence, and North Providence (tested Aug. 4). The state says risk remains high statewide, with no human cases reported so far this season. Rail & Coastal Planning: Amtrak’s New Haven-to-Providence capacity study team will hold public Q&A at Scarborough North State Beach Sunday (and a second stop Saturday at Rocky Neck State Park) to discuss conceptual plans affecting a 65-mile stretch of the Northeast Corridor, including shoreline impacts. Utility Profits Under Fire: Attorney General Peter Neronha urged the Public Utilities Commission to reject Rhode Island Energy’s request to raise its profit margin to 10.75% in a major rate case that could increase typical bills. Public Health + Mosquito Prevention: With WNV risk high, officials reiterate bite-prevention steps and point residents to state mosquito-control resources. Shoreline Safety: Newport City Council is weighing whether Memorial Boulevard needs another safety review after a fatal crash involving a scooter, with attention on the Bellevue-to-Easton’s Beach stretch. Marine Life & Research: Block Island Maritime Institute hosts Jon Dodd of the Atlantic Shark Institute to discuss what shark research looks like in Rhode Island waters and why it matters for ocean health. Fishing Limits Pilot: New Hampshire is seeking permit-holder interest in a regional pilot that would allow a weekly aggregate spiny dogfish limit, pending federal approval.
