AGP Executive Report

Last update: an hour ago

Heat Wave Watch: After record-breaking spring warmth, Rhode Island and the broader East are still sweltering—Tuesday’s 90+ stretch is rolling into another very hot day, with Providence and nearby areas under heat advisories and Thursday bringing a cooldown with morning showers and cooler, drier air. Public Safety: Beach season chaos hit fast—three people were stabbed at Narragansett Town Beach, and police also made arrests amid disorder and curfew talk. Solar Policy: “Balcony solar” is gaining momentum in New England, and Rhode Island’s plug-in porch/yard solar proposal is still in play as other states move ahead. Energy Infrastructure: Enbridge is back with “Project Beacon,” a proposed natural gas pipeline expansion that would boost capacity into New England. Local Fixes: RIDOT plans to close the Singleton Street Bridge in Woonsocket starting June 5 for rehabilitation, with detours for cars and a longer route for trucks. Health Threats: Ticks are surging again, with ER visits for tick bites at their highest levels for this time of year since 2017.
