QDC Input into URI Study
• Water dependency– Classification of uses as water-dependent, water-related, water-enhanced
• Static land inventory– Reality is a fluid land development environment and the URI inventory was a
point in time
• “Available” status– Vacant does not equal available
Benefits of Ports and Harbors Inventory
• Study was instrumental in increasing awareness of scarcity of industrial sites statewide
• Also important in correcting the misperception that there are vast underutilized land resources at Quonset Business Park
"Quonset" is a Native American
word meaning point or peninsula.
Park is comprised of two former Navy bases:
• Quonset Naval Air Station – closed in 1974
• Davisville Construction Battalion Center – closed in 1994
