 Town of Lincoln, RI - Doing Business in Lincoln
Amtrak has developed its high-speed Acela rail service to connect Providence to both Boston (roughly 30 minutes) and Manhattan (under 2 hours), as well as the rest of the Northeast Corridor.
Below are contacts for utility providers who have provided information to us, but you may also want to contact a preferred competing provider directly, or to contact the Rhode Island Public Utilities Commission directly for a list of providers registered to provide services.
The new, more competitive landscape enables businesses located in Lincoln to choose among providers of electric generating services, local and long-distance telecommunications services, and sources of natural gas, so it is difficult for us to provide a current list of all providers.
