The Narragansett Chamber of Commerce has written a letter opposing Rhode Island Fast Ferry's application with the state to expand ferry service to Block Island.

A handful of North Kingstown businesses were singled out in the recent "Best of Rhode Island 2013" rankings published by Rhode Island Monthly last week, including All Star status for Allie's Donuts and Gregg's Chocolate Cake.
