Statement from East Providence Mayor - Metacomet Golf Club

"The City is fortunate that a local Rhode Island developer, who has a long history of successful development in East Providence, will be working on this project.

Working together with Marshall Development, we’ll achieve something beneficial to East Providence through development that makes sense for our community.

There has been continued interest in economic development in our City that will support job growth and sound real estate development.

East Providence has a strong quality of life, a skilled and talented workforce and a strong, diverse cultural atmosphere – combined, that makes our community an attractive place to not only do business, but to live, work and play.

We anticipate working closely with the City Council and Planning and Zoning Boards to develop a plan that suits the city."
