Governor Donald L. Carcieri, House Speaker Gordon Fox, and President of the Senate M. Teresa Paiva Weed joined the Rhode Island Economic Development Corporation (RIEDC) and the Greater Providence Chamber of Commerce to unveil an Executive Order and package of legislation aimed at making it easy to do business in Rhode Island.
The order cuts government red tape and removes barriers to the establishment and growth of small business.
The Executive Order and nine-bill legislative package are the result of many months of work between the Governor’s Office, the House Small Business Committee, the Senate’s Small Business Task Force, RIEDC, and the Governor’s Regulatory Review Task Force, and is a coordinated approach to meeting a unified goal: making it easy to do business in Rhode Island.
“Rhode Island’s small businesses are the backbone of the state’s economy. While we’ve made progress on our path toward economic recovery – beginning with the restructuring of the leadership of the Rhode Island Economic Development Corporation and the passing of the IRBA legislation – it’s clear that we must do even more to support the state’s small companies and strengthen our workforce,” said Governor Donald L. Carcieri.
