AGP Executive Report

Last update: 4 hours ago

Blue Economy & Defense: L3Harris opened a new 50,000-square-foot maritime production facility at ProvPort in Providence to build undersea training systems for the U.S. Navy and allied forces, a $6M investment that underscores Rhode Island’s role in defense manufacturing. Surveillance Backlash: Flock Safety is tightening rules for its nationwide license plate reader network—cutting data retention to seven days and adding controls—after dozens of municipalities, including Rhode Island towns, canceled or paused contracts over privacy and data governance concerns. Consumer & Legal Pressure: Amazon reinstated binding arbitration and a class-action waiver in Rhode Island, steering many disputes away from court while small claims remain capped at $5,000. Local Business Resilience: Pat’s Pastured in Rhode Island is back at markets after a truck fire destroyed inventory and equipment, with community donations helping it recover. Energy Policy Headline: Offshore wind in the Gulf faces a major setback as RWE relinquishes U.S. leases after a $1.22B settlement, citing no path forward under current federal policy. Banking Deal: Santander received Federal Reserve approval to acquire Webster Financial, with a planned close around Aug. 20.
