Rep. Kennedy Secures Additional Funding for Troops
Rep. Patrick Kennedy is announcing funding for U.S. Army vehicles.
Kennedy’s office says he secured a $2.5 million appropriation for the project. He’ll announce the funding at a news conference Tuesday morning in Warren.
The funds will be used in a partnership between TPI Composites, a maker of composite structures, and the Volvo Group.
TPI will create composite cabs that can be used inside Army vehicles and also as commercial sleeping cabs for truckers.
Kennedy says the funding will improve Rhode Island’s defense industry and equip the Army with a product that could save lives. (News 10).
