Rhode Island is set to benefit from significant federal funding aimed at enhancing local infrastructure and the bioscience sector. Representative Magaziner announced a $963,000 federal grant for a waterfront development project in East Greenwich, aimed at benefiting residents, visitors, and small businesses. Concurrently, Rhode Island is bolstering its position in the life sciences field, with Senator Whitehouse highlighting the state's efforts to build a competitive Life Science cluster. A notable development in this sector is the upcoming establishment of PVD Labs and the Rhode Island Department of Health Labs, representing a substantial investment in health and scientific research. Senator Reed confirmed an $81.7M federal funding allocation for this state-of-the-art health lab, which promises to support key research and grow Rhode Island's bioscience sector. Representative Amo celebrated the new public-private partnership that will facilitate the construction of this lab, creating jobs and providing advanced technology for life sciences professionals.
