Rhodes Technologies, a Coventry pharmaceutical manufacturer, says it wants to expand, but wants the town to first update its sewer plans to include it.
The company says it wants to expand its existing operations, creating 20 new jobs "initially." It said it is "considering" Rhode Island, but that "existing facilities in two other states are also under consideration."
Rhodes, on Washington Street in Coventry, has expanded from 19 workers when it opened in 1998 to about 120. It says it has sophisticated equipment and skills and can take a product from the laboratory bench top through a pilot plant to full-scale production.

If the site for Rhodes Technologies does not meet their needs and they are willing to move, why don't we take this opportunity to find them an appropriate infill location near sewers and good transit and out of the floodplain of the Pawtuxet.

Lets actually have 'green' actions in this new Green Economy.
