📰 News we're reading

• Police Logs: Aug. 2, 2026 (itemlive.com) — Police logged several complaints and numerous traffic stops around Nahant Road, Castle Rock, Wilson Road, and the Causeway on Sunday, giving a clear snapshot of local enforcement activity. The same report also details arrests, disturbances, and other calls in nearby Lynn, Peabody, and Swampscott, but Nahant’s entries highlight where officers were most active in town.
   

• FEMA funding reversal hits Cape Ann seawall repair projects (cnhi.com) — Federal officials have pulled back disaster recovery funding that included $71,500 earmarked for Nahant’s seawall and beach access stairs at 40 Steps Beach, putting that local coastal protection work in doubt. Most of the cuts hit major Rockport and Gloucester seawall projects, while state and federal leaders press FEMA and the Trump administration to restore the money.
