AGP Executive Report

Last update: 4 hours ago

Housing Push: Gov. Dan McKee and the Rhode Island Executive Office of Housing announced $9.5 million in Housing 2030 Public Developer Program awards, including $4.5 million for Newport’s Park View Terrace—51 accessible affordable units for older adults and people with disabilities. Flood Watch: Heavy rain and flash flooding hit parts of the South Coast, including Newport and Tiverton, with cars trapped and roads closed as storms moved through. Sludge Decision: McKee signed a one-year moratorium on the proposed Quonset sludge pyrolysis facility and created a 21-member commission to study Rhode Island’s biosolids disposal challenges. Mangrove Hope: A new study finds mangrove forests are recovering overall as deforestation slows, with gains outpacing losses since around 2010. Tick Threat: Powassan virus is rising in New England as deer ticks spread it faster than before, raising alarm for tick-borne disease risk. Outdoors Weather: Rhode Island’s June 24 forecast calls for sunny, warm, dry conditions—an “A” day for beach and hiking plans.
