AGP Executive Report

Last update: 5 hours ago

Rhode Island policy & economy: Gov. Dan McKee signed a law letting cities and towns extend bar and restaurant hours during the 2026 FIFA World Cup, with alcohol service allowed until 3 a.m. and businesses potentially open until 4 a.m. between June 11 and July 3—aimed at boosting late-night revenue for local hospitality. Workforce & community investment: Citizens Financial Group is putting more than $1.65 million into Rhode Island workforce development and financial education, including a tuition-free banking training pathway with CCRI and an information security apprenticeship effort. Local nonprofit support: Centreville Bank Charitable Foundation awarded $562,000 in grants across Rhode Island and Connecticut, including $50,000 for Meals on Wheels to address storm-driven emergency food access. Workforce training expansion: Electric Boat is expanding training capacity at the Westerly Education Center, increasing the number of trainees by 40% as it ramps up hiring. Public health & safety: NASA confirmed a meteor “as heavy as an elephant” caused the double boom heard across New England, including Rhode Island, after a fireball broke up high in the atmosphere. Courts & accountability: The Rhode Island Senate is set to vote on a clergy sex abuse bill that would open a “revival window” for previously expired claims, with a July 1, 2026 start and a two-year closing date.
