Next Phase of Jamestown Resiliency Efforts Underway
*
As flooding continues to threaten historic and cultural resources, the next phase of resiliency work at Jamestown Island is helping protect one of the nation's most significant archaeological sites for future generations.
VHB has supported Preservation Virginia (PV) for nearly two decades, working closely witharchaeologists and historians to develop designs that protect and enhance the sensitive landscape. Most recently, VHB worked alongside PV to develop the Jamestown Resiliency Plan, which established a long-term strategy for addressing flooding, sea level rise, and other climate-related risks to the archaeological features, cultural heritage, and visitor experience across the site. VHB recently joined Preservation Virginia and the Jamestown Rediscovery Foundation to kick off the next phase of the Jamestown Resiliency initiative.
This next phase focuses on advancing design efforts and working collaboratively with Preservation Virginia to develop flood protection measures that help safeguard archaeological, cultural, and historic resources while blending with the island's native landscape.
"Jamestown presents a unique opportunity to advance climate resilience and historic preservation together," said Peyton Ackerman, Landscape Designer at VHB. "As we move into the design phase, we're working closely with Preservation Virginia to develop solutions that protect invaluable cultural and archaeological resources while respecting the character of the landscape and enhancing the visitor experience."
The work reflects a multidisciplinary approach that combines landscape architecture, resiliency planning, and cultural resource preservation. By reducing flood risks while enhancing opportunities for interpretation and visitor engagement, the project supports both the protection of Jamestown's resources and the experience of those who come to learn from its history.
Learn more about VHB's approach to resiliency planning and design and how we're helping communities protect critical cultural and environmental resources.

Walmart Energizes 100th Store with EV Fast Charging in Monument, CO
Walmart celebrated the opening of its 100th company-owned and operated electric vehicle (EV) fast-charging site at the Walmart Supercenter located at 16218 Jackson Creek Parkway in Monument, CO.
Walmart is building its network around a simple goal: bring fast, dependable charging to the places customers already shop, at prices they can count on. Walmart EV Chargers are now available at 100 stores across 20 states.
"By expanding EV fast charging at Walmartlocations across the country, we're giving drivers a dependable way to charge while they're in the store," said Shayne Wahlmeier, Senior Vice President, Walmart Energy. "Reaching 100 sites is an important milestone, and our broad footprint positions us to make EV charging more accessible for communities while expanding the ways we serve our customers."
A Charging Experience Built Around the Customer
Walmart's network is designed around the customer. Charging stalls are located steps from the store, and the charging experience is integrated into the Walmart app, making it easy for customers to charge while they shop.
Most Walmart EV charging locations feature 8 to 16 fast-charging stalls, with chargers capable of delivering up to 400 kW of power. With both CCS and NACS connectors, the network is compatible with most EVs on the road today, allowing many customers to add meaningful range during a typical shopping trip.
"When a customer pulls into a Walmart to charge, we want the experience to feel as reliable and effortless as the rest of their shopping trip," said Adam Happel, General Manager, Walmart Retail EV Charging. "We're proud to reach 100 sites, but our focus remains on building a network customers can count on every time they charge with us."
Walmart+ members receive discounted charging rates for additional savings. Customers can start and pay for charging sessions through the Walmart app, with additional payment options planned as the network expands.
What's Next
Walmart will continue expanding its network in markets where customers need greater access to convenient, dependable fast charging, working closely with local utilities and partners to bring new sites online. Customers can find current and upcoming EV charging locations on the Walmart EV Charging website and in the Walmart app. Open locations are also available on major mapping platforms including Apple Maps, Google Maps, PlugShare, Chargehub, and Chargeway.

E. Dale Abel, MD, chair and executive medical director of the Department of Medicine at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA, has been awarded the Order of Distinction in the Rank of Commander (CD) by the Government of Jamaica, one of the nation's highest honors. Dr. Abel was recognized for his outstanding contributions to medicine, specifically in the field of endocrinology.
"Throughout its history, following independencefrom the United Kingdom, the Government of Jamaica has chosen to honor a small number of its citizens each year with National Honours," Dr Abel said. "Growing up, each year we would look at the newspaper on Independence Day to see the list of Jamaican luminaries whose contributions to our country and the world would be recognized in this way. These included some familiar names in arts and sports, such as Usain Bolt and Rita Marley.
"Thus, when I woke up on Aug. 6 to receive numerous text messages of congratulations, I was initially unsure what was happening until I looked at the online version of the local paper and saw the article."
The award was announced as part of Jamaica's 2026 National Honours and Awards and will be formally conferred in October during National Heroes Day celebrations. The distinction honors Jamaicans whose achievements have made a significant impact across medicine, education, public service, business, culture, and community development.
Dr. Abel is recognized as a leader in endocrine and metabolic research. His laboratory has advanced the work of identifying factors that contribute to an increased risk of heart failure in people with diabetes and obesity - as well as shedding light on metabolic and mitochondrial mechanisms that are responsible for the cardiovascular complications of diabetes.
An internationally recognized physician-scientist, academic leader and mentor, Dr. Abel is known for his research, mentorship of future physicians and physician-scientists and his commitment to advancing patient care. The award celebrates not only Dr. Abel's scientific and clinical accomplishments, but also his enduring contributions to health and medicine that have benefited communities in Jamaica and around the world.

In Law360, Attorneys Examine What Amazon v. Perplexity Decision Means for Agentic AI and the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act
In a Law360 article, attorneys examined what the Amazon v. Perplexity decision means for agentic AI and the federal Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA). The decision addresses a question of first impression: whether an AI agent that assists a user in navigating a website constitutes unauthorized access under the CFAA.
The court held that, on the facts presented, it does not, becauseit is the user, not the AI tool, who accesses the website for purposes of the statute.
The authors note that the decision underscores that system architecture, specifically whether the user's device or the AI itself communicates with third-party servers, may be a critical factor in determining CFAA exposure. Under this interpretation, the statute offers limited protection against unwanted agentic AI interactions, leaving businesses to rely primarily on contractual terms and technical safeguards.
The article summarizes the practical implications of the decision for AI developers and deployers, as well as for businesses whose platforms or data may be implicated by AI-driven interactions.
The article was authored by partner Regina Sam Penti, co-lead of the firm's artificial intelligence industry group, and IP transactions associates Sabrina Kim and Chloe Meyers.
