Senator Reed: “Quonset Realizing Potential”

February 14th, 2010 · No Comments

U.S. Sen. Jack Reed recently joined QDC’s Managing Director Steven King and RIEDC Executive Director Keith Stokes for a tour of the Quonset Business Park. After viewing extensive rail and road improvements as well as new construction Reed said the business park is well on the way to becoming an important economic engine for the state.

Sen. Reed was also supportive of efforts to position the Business Park for the future. Possibilities include the potential for short sea shipping, port improvements and the emerging energy initiatives. The offshore wind industry, Reed said, could eventually be an important part of the state’s economy. “This is a way for us to be at the forefront of a new energy future,” he said.
