PROVIDENCE, R.I. -- The committee searching for a new executive director of the Rhode Island Economic Development Corporation has selected two finalists from out of state and could recommend a single candidate to Governor Carcieri by the end of the month.

Paul J. Choquette Jr., a member of the search committee, told the governor and his Economic Policy Council at a meeting Wednesday that the finalists -- one from Florida and the other with work experience in Arizona and Maryland -- will be interviewed one more time before a decision is made.

"We have two very strong candidates who think this is a great opportunity," Choquette, chief executive officer of Gilbane Inc., said at the morning meeting in the EDC offices in Providence.
