I was happy to welcome U.S. Senator Barbara A. Mikulski to RI today. Sen. Mikulski is the longest serving female senator in U.S. history and Chairwoman of the Senate Appropriations Committee, which annually allocates and steers federal funds to states and federal agencies across the country. Sen. Mikulski joined me, Governor Chafee, and Warwick Mayor Scott Avedisian at T.F. Green to get a firsthand look at how RI is effectively leveraging federal dollars to complete critical projects like modernizing the airport and upgrading local transportation infrastructure to spur economic development. During a visit to Providence ¡CityArts! for Youth, with Sister Ann Keefe, we also discussed the importance of federal investments in the arts for community, education, and economic development. ¡CityArts! serves over 1,200 youth in afterschool and summer arts programs, offering learning experiences in visual art and design, performing arts, and creative writing.
