The Green Bond powers Rhode Island’s economy

Oct 18, 2024

On this year's General Election ballot, Question 4, known as the Green Bond, will make a critical investment in Quonset Business Park's Port of Davisville, which supports over 1,600 jobs at 100 companies. Continued expansion at the Port would support an estimated 1,100 additional jobs.

Davisville currently adds $374 million to Rhode Island's annual GDP and generates an annual $56 million in tax revenue. The good-paying jobs supported by the port create $99 million in household income for Rhode Island families each year.

In the last 20 years, the Port has increased its annual imports by 745%, and demand is only rising. Investing in the port's infrastructure allows Quonset to serve additional auto importers and increased offshore wind vessel traffic, all while creating new jobs and supporting more economic growth in Rhode Island
