Quonset’s Managing Director Steven King provided testimony at a recent R.I. House Finance Committee hearing in support of Gov. Raimondo’s $20 million bond measure to fund upgrades to Quonset’s Port of Davisville.
This bond measure will finance part of the Port Master Plan, creating the capacity for increased offshore wind logistics and staging while maintaining the infrastructure to continue the booming international auto import business.
North Kingstown’s State Representative Julie Casimiro also testified for the bond.
“Like Quonset, Davisville is a Rhode Island success story, supporting over 1,500 Rhode Island jobs,” Rep. Casimiro said in her testimony. “As you know, the port is one of the Top 10 auto importers in North America, and has broken its record for imports in 11 of the past 12 years. Based on Quonset’s proven record of success, it is clear that this investment in the Port Davisville is well worth making – and I urge your support.”
