• New Shoreham Board Delays St. Andrew Bluff Advisory (upriseri.com) — New Shoreham's Planning Board has delayed its advisory on erosion control work behind the St. Andrew Parish Center, pushing a recommendation to October while it seeks input from the conservation commission and town planner. The project would reshape the coastal bluff on Spring Street to protect parish buildings, but board members raised questions about the method's effectiveness, impacts on neighbors, and long-term maintenance before weighing in for the zoning board.
   

• New Shoreham Council Extends Transfer Station Agreement (upriseri.com) — New Shoreham's Town Council has extended its transfer station operating agreement and greenlit work to improve island radio coverage, while also reviewing a major adaptive reuse zoning update.
