U.S. Congressman David Cicilline (D-RI) will join Congressman Jim Langevin (D-RI), Congressman John Larson (D-CT), and Congressman Joe Courtney (D-CT), as well as an assortment of New England small business owners and public officials, for a Congressional Conversation on Advanced Manufacturing tomorrow August 7th, from 8:30 AM to 12:30 PM at the Rhode Island School of Design, 224 Benefit Street in Providence.
Cicilline, who has introduced the Make it in America Block Grant Program Act in the House, has focused much of his work in Congress on efforts to revitalize American manufacturing.
