December 8, 2020 – Rhode Island’s small businesses bracing for a long, cold winter got a spark of excitement today when the state’s tourism regions announced a partnership with the Rhode Island Foundation and BankNewport to revive the Foundation’s iconic “Buy Local RI” campaign.
“Small businesses are the backbone of Rhode Island’s economy, we all know someone who is connected as an employee or owner – they are our friends and neighbors, and need our support,” said Neil D. Steinberg, president and chief executive officer of the Rhode Island Foundation. “As the state’s community foundation we’re glad to partner with BankNewport and the state’s tourism regions to bring this campaign to life.”
