After a devastating fire destroyed Block Island’s iconic Harborside Inn in August 2023, Shepherd Strategies partnered with The Haynes Group to help rebuild, not just the structure, but the stakeholder alignment needed to make it possible. Through strategic relationship-building and focused coordination across town, state, and private interests, our team helped move this complex project from vision to groundbreaking. The Harborside Inn, a cornerstone of Rhode Island’s tourism economy since 1879, is anticipated to reopen in summer 2027.
