Providence businesses come in all shapes and sizes. From the largest healthcare institution to the homegrown manufacturer to the neighborhood shop, the one thing they all share is the ability to get the support they need to help make their business a success.

What the Locals are Saying:

As one of the fastest growing economic engines in the region, ProvPort's success is driven in part by our ability to work with the City of Providence to get things done. We are one of New England's only deep water ports, and by working closely as a team this has helped us to grow by over 300% in the last seven years.

- Bruce Waterson, Waterson Terminal Services, ProvPort

As a family owned and operated company, traditional values remain essential to us. Our loyalty to this city and this region serves as a testament to this legacy. Moran Shipping Agencies has been very impressed with the pro-business, collaborative approach demonstrated by the City throughout our project and encourages others in the private sector to consider all that Providence has to offer the business community.

- James A. Black, Moran Shipping

We have an open mind about where we're going to locate the brewery with an eye toward a community that would truly appreciate this endeavor. When you consider that the brewery was originally just over the line in Cranston and that Providence is within 90 miles of two thirds of all New Englanders, has the second highest rated water quality in the country and where the heart of the beer today, you realize that Providence is the most desirable place in New England to rebuild.

- Mark Hellendrung, Narragansett Brewery
