The resolution recognizes Cox Communications for its commitment to fostering human connections through technology and its significant contributions to communities across the United States. As the largest private broadband provider, Cox operates in over 30 states, serving nearly 12 million homes and businesses. The company, a division of Cox Enterprises founded in 1898, has invested more than $11 million in grants and support for S.T.E.A.M. (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math) programs since 2001, demonstrating its dedication to community engagement and empowerment.
In acknowledgment of Cox's philanthropic efforts, particularly in areas such as environmental sustainability, civic engagement, youth education, diversity, and technology enhancement, the resolution proclaims June 12th, 2025, as "Cox Impact Day" in Rhode Island. The House of Representatives expresses gratitude for Cox's contributions to the state and directs the Secretary of State to send certified copies of the resolution to key representatives of Cox Communications.
