AGP Executive Report

Last update: 8 hours ago

Healthcare Funding: Rhode Island hospital leaders say Medicaid reimbursement shortfalls are squeezing care capacity and could delay or cancel major projects, after lawmakers approved only $26M statewide instead of a requested $70M match. Libraries & Publishing Costs: A new Rhode Island law limits certain metered e-book licensing practices that drive libraries to repurchase bestsellers repeatedly, though it won’t take effect immediately. Transportation & Construction: RIDOT’s “Missing Move” will permanently close a Route 2 North-to-I-95 South ramp and shift traffic patterns near Warwick/West Warwick, with lane closures and a brief Exit 24A paving shutdown June 26-27. Auto Repair Industry: Lombard Equipment reports rising demand from Eastern U.S. collision repair shops as advanced vehicle tech increases needs for calibration and structural repair equipment. Community Banking: Forbes’ Best-in-State rankings put Centreville Bank and Navigant Credit Union at the top for Rhode Island banks and credit unions. Local Development: Pawtucket secured $30M for Tidewater Landing infrastructure, including a pedestrian bridge, parks, and stormwater work. Natural Resources Research: URI researchers are studying black cherry pollination and reproduction to fill long-standing science gaps.
