Billionaire Nick Schorsch can add another Newport

Billionaire Nick Schorsch can add another Newport feather to his cap with the forthcoming acquisition of the food truck concessions contract for Easton’s Beach, set to be formalized at the upcoming Newport City Council Meeting on Wednesday, April 24.

This opportunity arose following Newport Mayor Xay Khamsyvoravong’s decision to kill the historic Easton’s Beach Carousel, alongside the bathhouses and the legendary Easton’s Beach Snack Bar, which had been overseen by Barry Botelho, a lifelong Aquidneck Islander.

Audrain’s concessions will include a 26 1/2 foot catering kitchen, a fleet of five food trucks, a commissary kitchen, and a catering van.

Having relocated from New York City approximately ten years ago, Schorsch has amassed a huge portfolio in Newport, including establishments such as La Forge Restaurant, Newport Craft Beer, Audrain Automobile Museum, Audrain Motorsport, Audrain Park Place, Audrain Hospitality, La Costa Lobster and Tacos, Wally Weiners, Newport Lobster Company, Hilltop Inn, Cluck House, Cluck Truck, and Amano Pizza.

Post-race celebrations included a festival featuring music, vendors, and a recovery zone, with food and beverages provided, including complimentary beer from Sam Adams and Narragansett Beer for participants over 21. The event, in line with Earth Month initiatives, was supported by the Eastern RI Conservation District and Epic Renewal, aiming for zero waste. Over 46 ploggers contributed to collecting over 212 lbs of waste, underscoring Rhode Races’ commitment to sustainability and community stewardship.

At approximately 4:59 PM, both Station 1 and Stati

At approximately 4:59 PM, both Station 1 and Station 5 were dispatched to the rear of 102 Connell Highway, Newport At 4:59 PM, Station 1 and Station 5 were dispatched to a brush fire behind 102 Connell Highway, Newport Playhouse. Newport Car 2 reported “smoke showing” by 5:02 PM. On arrival, Car 2 confirmed a working fire, initiating “Playhouse Command” and a First Alarm. By 5:07 PM, a 2nd Alarm was requested, escalating with a 3rd Alarm at 5:10 PM due to a potential house exposure on 203 Third Street.

Strategic deployment directed Station 1 to J.T. Connell Highway, Engine 5 and Engine 4 to Dyers Gate. The First Alarm expanded to include all Newport assets and Nay Fire. Multiple handlines, Ladder Towers, and Master streams were deployed. Dual Incident Command Deputy Chiefs oversaw operations.

A collaborative response involved neighboring fire apparatus converging at the scene, with some providing citywide coverage. At 6:47 PM, Car 2 declared the fire “under control,” with the Newport Fire Marshal summoned. Comments from a neighbor to Newport Buzz suggest that the fire may have been ignited by individuals lighting firecrackers on nearby train tracks.

Gratitude for the Newport Fire and Police Departments’ swift response, ensuring no injuries and protecting local properties. Investigations into the fire’s cause continue. Stay tuned for updates. (link in bio)

Residents and businesses in Middletown are facing $Residents and businesses in Middletown are facing a 2% tax increase in Fiscal Year 2025, as revealed in figures presented to the Town Council on Monday night. Median homeowners can expect a $100 rise, while commercial property owners may see a $236 increase. These numbers include costs for new school and open space bonds, with no major service cuts. Educational spending sees a 4% increase, exceeding inflation. \ Town Administrator Shawn J. Brown emphasizes the budget’s goal of balancing affordability with progress. The budget awaits council approval, with rates to be set by town tax staff. Brown underscores efforts to mitigate tax impacts without compromising essential services. The proposed residential tax rate is $8.65 per $1,000 of assessed value, $11.25 for nonresidents, and $12.98 for commercial properties. The Tiered Residential Tax Program aims to enhance affordability, with 58% participation. Commercial property owners face a $12,793 tax bill, a $236 increase. Town departments manage a $20.9 million budget, 2.5% higher than Fiscal 2024. Educational spending increases to $30.4 million, with a $200,000 addition to the deficit reduction plan.
