This week on NEXT:

The city of Providence, Rhode Island is thinking about selling its water to make up for its large pension liability, but is it the city's to sell? Plus, new lobster traps could help protect endangered North Atlantic Right Whales from entanglements.

And, as the Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station is set to close later this month, we look at the environmental and economic effects the plant has had on its hometown of Plymouth, Massachusetts.

Finally, we'll hear from an entrepreneur who's working to change Boston's school lunches, and we'll visit a farm on Connecticut's coast.

It's NEXT.

NEXT was a radio show and podcast that aired its final episode in May 2021 after a successful five-year run. The weekly program focused on New England, one of America's oldest places, at a time of change. NEXT was produced at Connecticut Public Radio and featured stories from journalists across the New England News Collaborative. Most recently, the program was hosted by Morgan Springer.

With New England as our laboratory, NEXT asked questions about how we power our society, how we move around, and how we adapt. Through reporting and interviews, we explored: Where are we now? How did we get here? And what's next?

Partners include Maine Public, New England Public Media, New Hampshire Public Radio, Vermont Public Radio, WBUR, WGBH, WCAI, and WSHU. Vanessa de la Torre is the NENC’s executive editor.
