• Narragansett Climate Resilience Workshop Set for Sept. 30 (upriseri.com) — Narragansett is inviting residents to a key climate resilience and land-use workshop on September 30, 6–8 p.m., at Town Hall, where early priorities will be set before any ordinance language is drafted. The town, working with state agencies and consultants, is reviewing rules on flooding, erosion, stormwater and heat that could eventually affect building standards, coastal properties, and future development across Narragansett. 
• Foster terminates Flock camera contract, joining four other R.I. towns (browndailyherald.com) — Narragansett residents are part of a broader Rhode Island debate over Flock automated license plate reader cameras, as several towns, including Narragansett, have ended contracts or set their own data rules. The article details Foster's recent cancellation, privacy concerns raised by the ACLU, a wrongful-arrest lawsuit, and how Narragansett police limit data retention and require case numbers for every query.
