Leaders Launch Inclusive Effort to Rebuild the State - RIsurgence
Thursday, June 07, 2012

Today, Rhode Island's economy ranks consistently last or near last in nearly every business rankings. The RI unemployment rate is 49th ranked.
The effort to generate new ideas is sparked by Scott A. Gibbs, and Marcel A. Valois of the Economic Development Foundation of Rhode Island. They have been joined by dozens of business leaders and innovators from across RI in creating a strategy to incubate and hatch creative economic development ideas in Rhode Island. We call this strategy RIsurgence.

This effort encourages all Rhode Islanders to serve as leaders and to join the discussion.
