Dear Economic Development Partners:
The General Assembly is considering the approval of a supplemental FY2010 budget bill, H7105, part of which would establish a $125 million Job Creation Guaranty Program. The program will provide lenders with the credit enhancements they need to approve borrowing for established, growing and new knowledge-based businesses in Rhode Island in industries like advanced manufacturing, construction, defense, life sciences, health care, advanced electronics, digital media, software design and engineering and financial services.
The time is now for Rhode Islanders to take action in changing the future of our great state. Attached is a letter of support for the measure embedded with some key talking points and a copy of the proposed legislation.If you believe this guarantee is worthy of your support, please write a letter to the General Assembly.You can find the e-mail addresses for legislators on the General Assembly website (www.rilin.state.ri.us), or contact Mike Blazek at 404-278-2146 or mblazek@riedc.com at our office for assistance.
