AGP Executive Report

Last update: an hour ago

Housing & Jobs: Gov. Dan McKee and the RI Housing team opened a second round of Housing 2030 entry-level homeownership funding, adding $12.5M after the first $7.5M round backed 172 homes statewide (90 under $400K). The Commerce Board also announced $8M in incentives, including $6.2M in tax credits for Raytheon’s Portsmouth expansion tied to 150 new RI jobs. Manufacturing Workforce: VMEC is promoting a free July 2 open house and a July CNC boot camp at River Valley Technical Center to train workers for advanced manufacturing roles. Transportation & Infrastructure: RIDOT will run a temporary road diet on Warwick’s Main Avenue (Route 113) starting July 10, with a center turn lane and one lane each direction, to be evaluated for permanence this fall. Energy & Water: Veolia Rhode Island imposed a mandatory outdoor water ban in South Kingstown and parts of Narragansett, citing drought conditions and low aquifers. Public Safety: RI’s assault-weapons sales ban takes effect July 1, while the state also issued an extreme heat advisory with cooling centers open across South County. Maritime/Shipbuilding: A Rhode Island-based NOAA fisheries ship, Henry B. Bigelow, is set for a $99.6M service-life extension tied to upgrades at the Ketchikan shipyard.
