AGP Executive Report

Last update: 9 hours ago

Defense & Jobs: L3Harris opened a $6 million maritime production facility at ProvPort in Providence to build undersea training systems for the U.S. Navy and allied forces, expanding the company’s Rhode Island footprint and workforce needs. Real Estate: A historic Barrington waterfront home at 81 Mathewson Road sold for $3.1 million—town’s second-highest residential sale of 2026—highlighting continued demand for high-end properties with docks and waterfront access. Public Safety Tech Backlash: Flock Safety is losing municipal contracts as cities and police departments cite privacy and data-ownership disputes; the LAPD is letting its contract expire amid concerns over data sharing and safeguards. Consumer & Enforcement: The FTC is sending out more than $23.8 million in Grubhub refunds for hidden fees and misleading pay claims, though the payout is only a fraction of the $140 million judgment. Higher Ed & Global Ties: Bryant University signed an MOU with Ashesi University in Ghana to expand global academic collaboration, experiential learning, and research partnerships. Housing Policy Pressure (Cape Cod): A Barnstable County commissioner candidate is pushing a home-rule surcharge on million-dollar properties not used as primary residences to fund year-round housing. Business Expansion: Earth Science Tech, Inc. (ETST) acquired California compounding pharmacy Meduvo LLC to expand its West Coast hub and broaden authorized dispensing across more U.S. jurisdictions, including Rhode Island. Sports Collectibles: A one-of-one Cooper Flagg rookie card surfaced in New England, with offers reportedly reaching millions—another reminder of how Rhode Island’s hobby shops can draw national attention.
