📰 News we're reading
• Narragansett, RI Zoning Board — September 17, 2026 (meetingwatch.org) — Narragansett residents can review what their Zoning Board decided at its September 17, 2026 meeting, including site plan approvals and conditions, through MeetingWatch's report and linked video. The platform lets you ask plain-English questions tied to official records, minutes, and exact video timestamps so you can quickly verify how land-use decisions may affect your neighborhood. 
• Narragansett Delays Boon Street Market Food Truck License (upriseri.com) — Narragansett's Town Council has delayed a mobile food license for Boon Street Market's food truck after residents raised past violation concerns, and is pushing back on flashing pedestrian signs proposed for Ocean Road while supporting curb bump-outs. Councilors also advanced contracts for the Community Center elevator, road striping, generators, cyber security, and sewer projects, and confirmed dredging permits and ongoing outdoor water restrictions.
• Conservative business group's multi-PAC strategy flops as General Assembly incumbents prevail • Rhode Island Current (rhodeislandcurrent.com) — Narragansett voters helped reelect Sen. Alana DiMario, who easily defeated a challenger backed by a conservative business group using an aggressive multi-PAC fundraising strategy. The article explains how that group's big-money plan failed across Rhode Island primaries, while incumbents and well-organized local campaigns, including in the district spanning North Kingstown and Narragansett, largely held their seats.
