Rhode Island is investing millions into outdoor sp Rhode Island is investing millions into outdoor spaces — and communities in Newport County are among the big winners. Governor Dan McKee and the Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management announced more than $5.7 million in matching Outdoor Recreation Grants to 15 municipalities statewide, funding projects from playgrounds to fitness areas and shared-use paths. In Newport, the city secured the maximum $500,000 award to develop the John Chafee Boulevard Recreation Area. Plans include a new splash pad, shaded gathering space, ADA-accessible restrooms and improved walkways — upgrades aimed at expanding access to family-friendly recreation. In nearby Portsmouth, officials were awarded $155,761 to build a new outdoor fitness facility geared toward older adults. The project will feature accessible exercise equipment, instructional signage, safety surfacing and shaded areas designed to support active aging. State leaders said the competitive grant program drew 50 applications requesting nearly five times the available funding, underscoring demand for upgraded public spaces. “Green spaces, playgrounds and recreational assets are essential to our communities,” McKee said, noting investments like these improve public health, mental well-being and overall quality of life. DEM Director Terry Gray said the program continues to deliver results in every corner of the state, funding everything from ballfields to hiking trails. The grants are funded through voter-approved Green Bond initiatives and require matching funds from municipalities. Awards range from $100,000 to $500,000 depending on project scope. Since launching in 1988, the program has awarded more than 580 grants totaling over $96 million across all 39 Rhode Island communities. Outdoor recreation remains a major economic driver in Rhode Island, generating $2.4 billion in consumer spending and supporting roughly 24,000 jobs statewide, according to industry data. #rhodeisland #newportbuzz
Rhode Island’s top lawman is making his pick — and Rhode Island’s top lawman is making his pick — and it’s shaking up the race for lieutenant governor. Attorney General Peter Neronha is throwing his weight behind Xay Khamsyvoravong, handing the rising Democrat a major early boost in a race that’s just getting started. “We need a new generation of leaders,” Neronha said in a newly released video, praising Khamsyvoravong as someone who “will fight for Rhode Island families and never back down.” The AG pointed to Khamsyvoravong’s role in the fight to save Newport Hospital’s birthing center — a local flashpoint that galvanized the community — as proof he can deliver when it counts. “I saw Xay organize and lead the fight,” Neronha said. “That’s the kind of leadership Rhode Island needs.” Khamsyvoravong, currently serving as a state representative, didn’t waste time embracing the backing. “Neronha is fighting tirelessly to protect our community,” he said, calling the endorsement an honor and vowing to carry that same fight forward. The move is more than symbolic — it’s the first time this election cycle that a sitting statewide general officer has endorsed a candidate for lieutenant governor, signaling early momentum in what’s expected to be a competitive race. Neronha, a lifelong Rhode Islander, has served as attorney general since 2018 after nearly three decades as a state and federal prosecutor, including a stint as U.S. Attorney under President Barack Obama. And now, with his endorsement, he’s putting his political capital behind @xayforri — and potentially reshaping the field before it fully takes shape. #xayforri #rhodeisland #newportbuzz
