A coalition of business, tourism, hospitality, manufacturing and marine entities is calling on the General Assembly and the incoming McKee Administration to immediately enact measures to minimize the economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and restore economic prosperity to the greater Newport region.
According to Erin Donovan-Boyle, executive director of the Greater Newport Chamber of Commerce and spokesperson for the Restore Greater Newport Task Force, the next 90 days will be some of the most critical for Rhode Island’s economy and the livelihood of business owners and residents.
Restore Greater Newport is a coalition of private, public and government entities working collaboratively since March of 2020 to minimize the impact of COVID-19.
