Just walked out of my home away from home for most of the last 29 years. There have been days in the last 10 that I didn’t want to as things got harder and harder, but I never thought the day would come that we didn’t have a home. Prost, Mother Courant, we’ll miss you.

Today we celebrated 55 loans administered under @GovRaimondo's Small Business Assistance Program.
It was amazing to hear so many personal stories about how this modest state investment has helped our state's small business owners succeed.
