Congratulations to @EdesiaNutrition! Their 200,000-square-foot expansion will more than double their capacity to save children around the world from malnutrition. Quonset is proud to be home to a company whose work makes such a profound difference for children and families.

TRAFFIC ALERT: Construction on Marine Road in the Quonset Business Park has been completed. Marine Road and access to the Quonset Bike Path are back open to regular traffic.

QDC recently worked to preserve a grove of white fir trees that would have been lost to construction at Quonset Air Base. Known for their hardiness, the evergreens have been replanted throughout the Business Park, where we hope they will remain part of the landscape for years.

What does a company like Toray Plastics make? Look around your house. The material keeping your food products protected and fresh may have started as film manufactured right here at Quonset. Global products. Rhode Island manufacturing. Learn more at

Congratulations to Steven King on being named @ProvBusNews' 2026 Manufacturing Champion! Under Steve’s leadership, Quonset is home to 15,000+ jobs, incl. 10,000 manufacturing jobs — or 25% of Rhode Island’s manufacturing workforce. We're glad to see Steve's service recognized!

TRAFFIC ALERT: Marine Road and access to the bike path parking lot will be closed for construction from Mon., 10/12 until Fri., 10/16. The Quonset Bike Path will remain open and be accessible from the Shops at Quonset parking area located at 100 Gate Road.

From a small flex space to a 250,000-square-foot manufacturing facility — congratulations to @regentcraft! QDC has worked to provide REGENT the infrastructure needed to expand here, and their growth is a success story for Rhode Island's manufacturing sector and ocean economy.

Rita Lavoie has been named one of @NEREJ's highlighted Women in Commercial Real Estate! She prioritizes relationships and ensures that we understand and can respond to 260 businesses' individual needs, allowing them to grow and succeed. Read her profile:

More than 15,400 people come to work at Quonset each day, and new highway connection ramps just made the Business Park even easier to reach. These new connections will shorten commute times and help remove traffic from local roads and neighborhoods.

Quonset's Flex Campus offers customizable industrial space with flexible lease terms to new and growing companies, filling an unmet need in the real estate market. Today, nearly two dozen companies are housed in our Flex spaces, creating jobs and boosting American manufacturing.

RT @regentcraft: Flying into the long weekend 😎

RT @eng6511: @regentcraft making it happen @QuonsetRI! Congratulations to @billythalheimer @mikeklinker1 and their entire team!

Today marks the start of the Seaglider era - WE FLEW!! Our 15,000 lb, human-crewed Viceroy Seaglider prototype took flight today. Years of hard work culminating in this moment. Flight was smooth and exactly as planned. So proud of this team. More details to come!

Sending a huge congratulations to Quonset company @regentcraft on their successful Series B funding round! We look forward to continuing to support their work and additional job creation at their new headquarters at 1 Seaglider Way.

With the unanimous approval of the QDC board, we’ve begun site work to make way for thousands of new jobs at @GDElectricBoat. Learn more under Electric Boat Expansion - Sanford Road Relocation on the project updates page on our website ⤵️

RT @billythalheimer: Announcing @regentcraft's $240M Series B to bring our Seaglider manufacturing facility online and deliver them to our military and commercial customers. Lets go!! Could not have asked for better co-leads between Mare Liberum (@lcselby) and AE Ventures, bringing vast experience and connectivity across maritime and aerospace. Its not easy building in either of these sectors, so their backing is amazing validation for the business. So excited to be partnering with @ereborbank on the financing. @PalmerLuckey and the team are absolutely putting their money where their mouth is on backing the next generation of American industry and defense technologies. Access to this $120M in debt unlocks significant manufacturing purchases across tooling and equipment to stay on track for first Seagliders out of the factory by end of next year. We have a quarter-million feet of factory floor to fill. This is a major growth moment for REGENT. To date, we've largely been focused on prototyping. Seagliders are the first new mode of transportation since the helicopter, and its taken a lot of engineering and test to get here. Now we are focused to getting Seagliders into the hands of our customers, whether it is contested logistics and MEDEVAC missions in the Indo-Pacific, or commuter service to New York or Miami. The growth of the order book over the past year has been amazing. It's a huge moment for us, but we're keeping our heads down and working. We are on the eve of flying our full-scale, human-safe Viceroy Seaglider prototype. Investors in our Series B got deeply involved in our technology development and testing campaigns and gained conviction in REGENT to unlock this fundraise even before Viceroy has flown. I must say, it's awesome to see this team - even while celebrating this Series B - remain so locked in on flight. Thank you to our existing investors who doubled down on us like @_edgegroup / SDF, @GiantStepVC, @LockheedMartin, @caffeinatedcap/@tonsing, @JAL_Official_jp, @mcuban, @foundersfund/@zebulgar, East X, and @Future_Planet. And excited for all the new support with @DCVC, iGrow, @BalnordVC, @VanderbiltU, and Inceptional. Massive day for REGENT. Next steps: flight, production, deliveries!

RT @RIDOTNews: Thanks to everyone who turned out for our construction site visit today at the Route 4 Missing Move Project in East Greenwich. We were excited to host @USDOTFHWA Administrator Sean McMaster, @GovDanMcKee @SenJackReed, @SenWhitehouse, @Rep_Magaziner, Seval Oz, the Assistant Secretary for Research and Technology at the @Research_USDOT and Steven King, @QuonsetRI Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer. Everyone got a first hand look at the new ramp we are building to provide a direct highway connection from I-95 North to Route 4 South. Learn more about this exciting and long-awaited project at:
