ICYMI: QDC has been awarded $11.25M to support submarine shipbuilding, auto imports and other port activities at the Port of Davisville.
The federal funding will be used to upgrade port facilities that support economic growth now and in the future.
QDC is celebrating two recent promotions! Eric Ryan (right) is now the Port Terminal Superintendent, and Eric Perreault (left) is now the Senior Pier Master and Facility Security Officer.
We appreciate their dedication to world-class service for all Port of Davisville customers.
Last year, we opened the Blue Economy Support Docks to provide small businesses with in-demand access to Narragansett Bay.
As of this spring, seven of the eight docks are fully leased to support maritime and undersea product testing and R&D.
QBP's Cold-Link Logistics has broken ground on a 65,000-square-foot expansion to double the facility’s existing capacity, creating more freezer storage and 13,000 new pallet positions. The expansion will position Cold-Link to grow their business and better serve their customers.
The strength of our nation has always depended on the courage of those who defend it. This Memorial Day, we honor the brave service members whose sacrifice secured the freedoms we enjoy, and whose legacy lives on in the families, communities, and nation they fought to protect.
POSTPONED: Due to scheduling conflicts, the Quonset Board of Directors meeting scheduled for May 19th has been postponed. A new meeting date will be announced.
This week, @RIDOTNews opened a new roundabout at the intersection of West Davisville Road and Compass Circle, replacing the traditional intersection and creating a more efficient commute for Quonset Business Park employees.
Thank you to the community members who attended the information sessions for the proposed battery storage facility on Callahan Road.

This grant will upgrade infrastructure supporting auto imports and submarine shipbuilding at Quonset. We're grateful to our congressional delegation—@SenJackReed, @SenWhitehouse, @Rep_Magaziner, @RepGabeAmo—for their help restoring this critical funding.

NEW: $11.25M grant for @QuonsetRI will enhance port infrastructure development. I’ll continue working to deliver federals investments that improve our economy & position RI for long-term, smart growth.
Postponing tomorrow’s session will have the added benefit of allowing our neighbors to participate in both the legislative process at the State House and the public Q+A session once it is rescheduled.
UPDATE: Quonset sent QSS Biosolids a letter last week reconfirming the Corporation’s position that it will take no action on the company’s pending lease for the pyrolysis project prior to the reporting date of the Special Joint Legislative Commission to Study Sludge Management.
A second factor guiding the decision to postpone tomorrow’s Q+A session is that legislation related to this issue has been posted for a hearing at the same time tomorrow evening.
Quonset’s Board of Directors will meet on Tuesday, April 28, at 5pm at the Quonset ‘O’ Club. Doors will open at 4:30pm.
Following the meeting, the Quonset team will host a discussion with members of the community to answer any questions about projects at the Business Park.
