PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) Rhode Island is launching a $150,000 study to figure out ways to support and promote the growth of minority-owned businesses in the state, authorities announced Monday.
The study is a partnership between the nonprofit Rhode Island Foundation and the administration of Gov. Daniel KcKee.
The work, which will be performed by the Providence-based Multicultural Innovation Center and national consultant Camion Associates, will create a database of Black-, Latino-, Asian-, and Indigenous-owned businesses currently in operation in Rhode Island; assess the resources currently supporting those businesses; review national best practices to build and sustain minority-owned businesses; and compile feedback from existing Rhode Island-based minority businesses regarding their needs.
