AGP Executive Report

Last update: 3 hours ago

Defense & Jobs: Raytheon is expanding its Portsmouth campus with a $100M investment, adding a new radar test range and recommissioning a manufacturing building—bringing 150 new jobs. Infrastructure & Resilience: The Rhode Island Infrastructure Bank awarded $1.09M in EPA stormwater grants to 10 communities for flood mitigation and drainage upgrades, including green infrastructure in Providence’s Washington Park area. Energy Policy: A new push is emerging to revisit Rhode Island’s power-plant ownership rules as environmental advocates warn ratepayer impacts after lawmakers briefly advanced a bill that would let Rhode Island Energy own power plants. Workforce & Immigration: A federal judge struck down Trump’s $100,000 H-1B fee as an unlawful tax, a win for employers relying on skilled foreign workers. Retail & Labor: Rhode Island Senate passed a bill limiting grocery self-checkouts—requiring staffing ratios and protections for employees—sending it to the House. Consumer Costs: GasBuddy reports Providence County midgrade prices dipping to as low as $4.49 per gallon in the week ending May 30.
