Dave's Marketplace to Locate
at Quonset's Gateway
---
Local Grocer Calls Opportunity "Perfect Fit"
Dave's Marketplace, a locally owned and operated grocer, will be opening a new store at the Quonset Gateway, New Boston Development Partners announced this week. Construction is moving quickly at the Gateway, a mixed use project that will have office space, research and development, community space, restaurants, a hotel and retail space.
 "The Quonset Gateway is a perfect fit for a new Dave's Marketplace," said Bob Fabiano, Director of Store Development for Dave's Marketplace. "The new market will provide great fresh produce and seafood, a butcher shop, baked goods, and, of course prepared foods made in our own kitchen, including our homemade Dave's on the Go meals."
The $144 million Gateway project is projected to create 2,165 full-time jobs, most in the office sector. |
Quonset Ready for Busy Airshow Weekend
This weekend Quonset will host the Rhode Island National Guard Open House and Airshow. With nearly 100,000 people expected to attend, the Airshow provides an opportunity for scores of Rhode Islanders to see first hand the transformation of the Quonset and Davisville Navy Bases into today's thriving Quonset Business Park. Now in its 16th year, the Airshow will feature an Army Special Operations parachute demonstration, a performance by the British Red Arrows and several other aeronautical demonstrations.
In preparation for the weekend, QDC has coordinated a parking plan with the Air Guard, making ten large lots available, and cutting three large fields for additional parking on both the Quonset and Davisville sides of the Business Park. |
