** Each list has been updated as of January 2022 *** Please note that every applicant is assumed to be a non resident. In the spring of each year, we ask the top 30-40 people on each list to show proof of residency (Newport voter registration card or RI Drivers License with Newport address). This ensures the most accurate residency status is being used when a mooring is offered.
