Quonset Makes a New Name for Itself in Business. That was the headline from the New York Times earlier this year, in a lengthy feature from one of the world’s leading newspapers. The piece highlights Quonset’s “rebirth” and role as an economic engine for Rhode Island. The story also focuses on what has led to the Business Park’s success and how it has become “a model as Rhode Island tries to improve its economy.” Quonset continues to be a critical component of our states economy, with nearly 11,000 people working here at more than 200 companies. Its Port of Davisville is consistently among the top auto importers in North America. The New York Times piece was one of many highlights for Quonset Business Park in 2016, giving us great momentum as we head into the New Year.
