Quiver AI Summary
The Rhode Island delegation, including Senators Jack Reed and Sheldon Whitehouse and Representatives Seth Magaziner and Gabe Amo, has publicly condemned the Trump administration's recent action to withdraw $11.25 million in federal funding for the Port of Davisville. Their statement emphasized that the port plays a critical role in the state's economy and job preservation.
According to the lawmakers, the funding aimed to modernize the port, enhancing its capacity and security. They expressed concerns that the cancellation would negatively impact efficiency and potentially jeopardize the jobs of local union workers. This funding withdrawal is part of a larger $679 million termination of federal support for offshore wind-related infrastructure.
The Port of Davisville serves as a key component of the Quonset Business Park, which houses numerous businesses and thousands of jobs. Additionally, the delegation highlighted that the port's improvements were vital for future investments and growth in the offshore wind sector, particularly following a recent halt to the construction of the Revolution Wind project.
