							Regulations (the "Regulations") is to outline requirements for land
							development, building construction, and utilities in the Quonset Business Park
							(the "Park").
B. The regulations
							described herein represent a commitment by Quonset Development Corporation
							("QDC" or the "Corporation") to develop a successful and well-planned business
							park, optimize the efficiency of utility infrastructure, conserve limited
							resources, protect the natural environment, and provide a competitive platform
							for businesses to thrive in a manner that is compatible with the surrounding
							community. The Park is designed to provide prime sites for quality industrial
							development, offices, mixed use development and marine-related industries to
							create new job opportunities for Rhode Island workers and to increase state and
							local tax revenues.
C. QDC
							continues to maintain a collaborative relationship with the Town of North
							Kingstown to develop the Park in a manner that is consistent with the goals of
							QDC and the Town. Administrative agreements between the Town and QDC, the
							development and maintenance of shared infrastructure, and the regulatory
							process in the Park have all been structured to ensure a streamlined approach
							to development in the Park. The Municipal Services Agreement (MSA, as amended
							August 17, 2016), the Sewer Services Agreement (as amended August 17, 2016) and
							the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU, December 16, 2010) are examples of
							documents that help to define the relationship between the Town and QDC. The
							regulatory components of these agreements are codified in these
							regulations.
