AGP Executive Report

Last update: an hour ago

URI Ocean Tech: URI cut the ribbon on its new Ocean Robotics Laboratory at the Narragansett Bay Campus, highlighting a 20-by-30-foot indoor testing tank for ROVs, autonomous vehicles, sensors, and pre-deployment troubleshooting. Housing & Local Revitalization: Gov. Dan McKee launched the $5.2 million Housing 2030 Municipal Neighborhood Revitalization Program to help towns acquire blighted properties and spur mixed-use affordable housing. Grocery Competition Law: McKee ceremonially signed Rhode Island’s bill blocking “scorched earth” restrictive covenants that can keep grocery stores out of communities, aiming to reduce food deserts and protect local small businesses. Energy/Environment Politics: Former state senator James Sheehan says he’s running for District 31 to “stop the sludge” tied to a suspended Quonset Development Corporation pyrolysis proposal. Public Safety: Rhode Island police and RIDOT urged holiday travelers to slow down, buckle up, and avoid impaired driving as Fourth of July traffic risk rises. RI Industry Spotlight: South County Distillers was selected to represent Rhode Island in a nationwide bourbon blend project for America’s 250th. Food Recall: FDA classified a potato chip recall (Zapp’s/Dirty brands) at the highest risk level over possible Salmonella contamination.
