PROVIDENCE – State officials authorized up to $14,655,000 in incentives Monday intended to attract two new companies to Rhode Island and encourage two existing entities to expand. In all, 2,000 permanent jobs could be created over the next 20 years, said Gov. Gina M. Raimondo.
By far, most of the jobs would come through a planned expansion of General Dynamics Electric Boat at Quonset Business Park and a new meat processing facility proposed by an affiliate of Ahold Delhaize.
“If we do our job at this meeting, we can create well over 2,000 jobs for Rhode Islanders,” Raimondo said, as the R.I. Commerce Corp. meeting got underway.
