(Warwick, R.I.) - Congressman Jim Langevin plans to visit three local research and development firms on Thursday, May 29. The small businesses are located in Cranston and Warwick.

“Smaller firms, such as the ones I plan to tour, are the backbone of our nation’s economy,” said Langevin. “We are lucky to have these Rhode Island companies taking risks to develop new ideas and products, because often their innovations have wide-ranging benefits for the public.  I look forward to meeting with these companies to learn about their latest projects.”
