AGP Executive Report

Last update: 12 hours ago

Open Meetings Act: Rhode Island’s AG tossed an Open Meetings Act complaint against the Quonset board, saying a closed-door discussion on a sewage treatment lease was within the rules—while still urging more transparency to build public trust. Wastewater & public access: East Providence’s East Bay Bike Path will be temporarily closed from Kettle Point Avenue to the service road (May 12–by late May 15) to repair a break in a forced main near the path. Drinking-water upgrades: RIDOH is seeking public comment on a Woonsocket private-side lead service line replacement project, proposing copper line installs and new backflow devices. Marine & climate watch: A “killer seaweed” story out of France is making waves again, and broader climate signals (including a possible “super” El Niño) are in the mix this week. Local life: Middletown residents are pushing back over an uncertain future as they debate what’s been cut from the town’s revised comprehensive plan.
