Reply to comment by laterbacon in Newport Bridge on ramp by needathneed

What I got out of that is that there's gonna be 25 acres of developable land available after this is all done. So thanks RIDOT, totally worth it.

Maybe they should have started by just tearing down the Newport Grand and putting something there. How much space do they think they need? Do we need 25 more acres for a bunch of stores to sit empty?

The Newport Grand property is owned by RI commercial real estate development company Carpionato Corp. The company plans to redevelop the casino land. It has yet to finalize those plans and has given no definitive answer to when, or whether, it will move ahead with any construction.
