Great video from our partners @TNC_RI about how the Town of Bristol integrated resilient infrastructure into their new Independence Park boat ramp to reduce stormwater runoff into Bristol Harbor. A project supported through a $461,000 grant from our Municipal Resilience Program.

[RI League of Cities & Towns @RICitiesTowns]

The League had the pleasure of a behind-the-scenes tour of @RhodeIslandFC's Centerville Bank Stadium to hear about the club's hospitality, sustainability and community outreach efforts.

Thanks to Mayor @DonGrebien for arranging such an exciting location for our board meeting!

[RI League of Cities & Towns @RICitiesTowns]

Small businesses keep our communities running! This #SmallBusinessWeek, EG Town Manager Andy Nota and the League's Randy Rossi joined @EGCofC and state leaders to hear directly from Main Street businesses owners about how we can support their needs.

The League looks forward to working with @RISenate President Val Lawson and Majority Leader Frank Ciccone.

[Andrew Nota, J.D, MBA, ICMA-CM, @AndrewNota]

Congratulations Peder on your decades of contributions to municipal government in Rhode Island. Your professional support and guidance both while at the League and in serving various municipalities will most certainly have a lasting impact on many that you have worked with. Thank you for your service.

After 50 years of public service to the people of Rhode Island, Peder Schaefer is embarking on a well-deserved retirement.

[Rhode Island House of Representatives @RIHouseofReps]

Rep. Teresa Tanzi (@tanzister) joined the Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management (@RhodeIslandDEM) in celebrating the latest round of Local Agriculture and Seafood Act (LASA) grants — awarding nearly $500,000 to 33 local farmers, fishers, and food businesses across the state.

Since its launch, LASA has been a vital tool in growing Rhode Island’s local food economy. The program supports innovative, sustainable practices that strengthen food security, promote environmental stewardship, and keep our food systems resilient.

See how these grants are making a difference in this video: https://t.co/WxIaB15B8I

Rare Opportunity for Real-World Training
East Greenwich Firefighters took advantage of a unique opportunity to conduct hands-on training at the Hill Funeral Home before it's torn down next week. Real structures offer unmatched realism and valuable experience.

[RI League of Cities & Towns @RICitiesTowns]

The success of our annual convention would not be possible without the generous support of our sponsors. We offer our heartfelt thanks to our the Center for Tech and Civic Life, our diamond sponsor, and Ernst & Young, our platinum sponsor, for their commitment to our communities.

[RI Infrastructure Bank @RI_InfraBank]

Great to be participating in today's @RICitiesTowns Annual Convention! The League is a true partner helping us get the word out about our infrastructure financing and resilience programs to RI's municipal leaders.

East Greenwich, the 25th smallest town by population in RI (2024- 14,686), with the 16th largest public school district, with 2,500 students and stable enrollment, receives the lowest % reimbursement under the School Building Authority, receives negligible federal aid, while having some of the strongest district test scores and attendance in the state, is poised to see the largest single reduction in state education aid in the Governor's proposed FY26 budget? Let's be strategic and continue to support those districts in need, but the plan cannot be to pull back on those high performing districts so everyone ends up in the middle. That's not how equity is defined and its not going to deliver the education results we're all seeking. There is a better professional strategy, that limits emotion and influence from the equation and tempers that with district incentives, standards and results to measure and advance our education system. Today with multiple RI districts operating in a deficit, accountability is needed, while significant funding for decades directed at systemic issues has not moved the needle for many districts, is reflective of failed systems and leadership that needs to be reevaluated and in some cases changed. Let's be courageous enough to listen and work together in considering a new direction, because what we're dong is not getting us closer to addressing our public education needs in RI.

Great news! Upgrading the infrastructure necessary to support affordable housing makes it easier for Rhode Islanders to stay in their communities. Thank you to @RI_InfraBank for deploying this funding to our cities and towns.

[Andrew Nota, J.D, MBA, ICMA-CM, @AndrewNota]

As state leaders prioritize economic growth/diversity combined with Workforce/Educational Equity in many forms-why is a Charter School proposal by NEIT to do just that, being met with resistance? The Council on Elem. and Sec. Ed. will be the public body to deliberate this issue.

[RI League of Cities & Towns @RICitiesTowns]

The League’s Municipal Leadership Academy brings municipal employees from across the state together to build leadership skills.

This fall, 12 local leaders are working with Dr. Jenn Slattery, Director of Member Services, in a close-knit environment to grow their talents.

Great day with recognition for the RI Interlocal Risk Management Trust professional team. From the Board of Trustees to you- Congratulations on being a top workplace and doing great work for our R.I. member Towns/Schools/Special purpose districts. Working together we’re better.
