📰 News we're reading

• Two arrested in Warwick (newportdispatch.com) — State police recently made two separate traffic-stop arrests on Milford Road and Jefferson Boulevard in Warwick, including one driver charged with a fourth offense for driving with a suspended license. Another man was taken into custody on embezzlement and larceny warrants originating from Pawtucket, with both suspects processed at the Wickford Barracks before being handed over to the courts or Pawtucket police.
   

• Coastal Rhode Island hotels far outperforming Providence, with RevPAR up nearly 13% this year (whatsupnewp.com) — Hotel performance in Warwick is expected to finish 2026 slightly down, even as coastal Rhode Island properties see nearly 13% revenue-per-room growth. For local workers and businesses, the report highlights a tight, aging hospitality workforce and thousands of projected job openings, along with modest statewide growth in room rates and restaurant sales that will still shape Warwick's tourism economy.
