I'm a Rhode Island resident interested in understanding how I can participate in the state's planning processes. Navigate to the 'Public Participation' section of the Rhode Island Division of Statewide Planning website. Identify two specific ways the public can engage with the planning process, and provide the email address of the Public Participation Coordinator. Additionally, state which specific plan outlines the goals and strategies for public engagement.
Navigate to 'https://planning.ri.gov'. Click on the 'Public Participation' dropdown menu. Click on the 'Overview' link within the 'Public Participation' dropdown. Scroll down the page to identify at least two distinct methods or opportunities for public involvement. Locate and extract the email address for Benny Bergantino, the Public Participation Coordinator. Identify the specific plan mentioned on the page that outlines the responsibilities, goals, and strategies for public engagement. Synthesize the identified methods/opportunities, the coordinator's email, and the name of the relevant plan.
The agent successfully navigates to the 'Public Participation' overview page. The agent identifies and states two specific methods for public involvement, such as 'being added to a mailing list for public hearing notices' and 'reviewing the Public Participation Plan (PPP)'. The agent states the email address for Benny Bergantino as 'Benny.Bergantino@doa.ri.gov'. The agent states that the 'Public Participation Plan (PPP)' outlines the responsibilities, goals, and strategies for engaging the public.
