A recent announcement revealed that the first 14 cities selected for the national initiative include Providence, Rhode Island, while Portland was not among them. The announcement, issued earlier this week, lists the cities that have been chosen for the program’s initial round of participation.

The full list of 14 cities is now available to the public, and details about the program’s goals, funding, and next steps will be released in the coming weeks.
