AGP Executive Report

Last update: 30 minutes ago

Transportation & Infrastructure: RIDOT will make a key “Missing Move” change on Route 2 to I-95 South: a revised ramp will handle both directions, and the current Route 2 North on-ramp to I-95 South will be permanently closed; Exit 24A will be briefly shut for paving June 26 night into June 27 morning, with lane closures on Quaker Lane. Housing & Development: Pawtucket secured $30M in low-cost Rhode Island Infrastructure Bank loans to unlock Tidewater Landing Phase 1B, including a pedestrian bridge, riverwalk upgrades, and stormwater improvements. Energy & Environment: Rhode Island’s PFAS “forever chemicals” limits face a federal shift as the Trump administration weakens restrictions on four PFAS chemicals while keeping PFOA and PFAS limits intact; separate coverage highlights Enbridge pipeline expansion concerns from RI landowners. Construction Costs & Safety Debate: States are loosening building code rules to cut housing costs, but critics warn changes like fewer stairways could raise safety risks. Local Business & Real Estate: Procaccianti renovated the Holiday Inn South Kingstown; Mott & Chace launched the 59 Warren St condo development in Providence’s West End with solar and EV charging. WealthTech: FusionIQ completed its acquisition of Providence-based Marstone, expanding digital wealth management offerings. Workforce & Education: Roger Williams University expanded its Blue Fellows Program for marine science, aquaculture, biotech, and fisheries research partnerships. Public Health & Consumer Safety: Rhode Island’s rat poison law moves toward banning certain anticoagulant rodenticides, with exterminators warning it could backfire.
