Thank you to Gabe Amo for his commentary highlighting the new bill which he introduced - HR 10035 The Blue Economy and Innovation Act - and his mention of 401 Tech Bridge 😊 https://lnkd.in/diJvhcqh "It’s nearly impossible to go through daily life without using, wearing, or eating something that our blue economy has touched. Growing this economy is about fostering innovation— creating jobs, combating the climate crisis, and making our supply chains more resilient. But it’s also about leaning into what makes Rhode Island a unique place to call home."
