Ocean State Business Development - OSBDA

Today we had the honor of attending the SBA Lender Awards, where we accepted our 10th consecutive 'Rhode Island Certified Development Company of the Year' award!

These awards would not be possible without our Customers, Board Members, Partner Banks, and Closing Attorneys.

It was a great year for us at Ocean State Business Development, and we're looking forward to helping even more small businesses in our community in 2026 and beyond!

Last week, we were invited to attend the ground breaking ceremony for Darling Development Corporation at the soon-to-be Black Goose Market Place located at 928 Fall River Avenue in Seekonk, MA.

Ocean State Business Development assisted the Borrower with obtaining financing for the TownPlace Suites Hotel which is to be built.

The plaza will also feature a Whole Foods Market, and a variety of other retailers. We are excited to be a part of this project which will bring economic development, and enhance the town of Seekonk!
