181024-N-JW440-0099 NEWPORT, R.I. (Oct. 24, 2018) The Navy Gateway Inns & Suites (NGIS) transient lodging facility onboard Naval Station Newport, R.I., is scheduled to hold a ribbon cutting ceremony on Nov. 1, 2018. The facility, which broke ground on Aug. 21, 2015, and traces its origins back to 2007 when the need for additional lodging became apparent, is the first hotel built by the Navy, and the first NGIS funded entirely by funds rendered by guest room charges at NGIS locations within the Mid-Atlantic Region.
