BREMERTON NATIONAL AIRPORT
General Dynamics Electric Boat will lease more than 9,000 square
feet of new office and industrial space at the Port of Bremerton’s
industrial park.
Port commissioners are expected tonight to approve a lease that had
its final touches put on just this afternoon.
Known to most just as Electric Boat, the company is best known for
its conversion work on the Trident subs at the Bangor submarine
base, and for its construction of the Virginia Class subs.
The company has had a presence in Kitsap going back to 2003. It’s
new lease allows it to continue its local work for the Navy.
Port commission President Cheryl Kincer said, “We have long
believed that cfreating a (Department of Defense) campus at the
port is an idea with great potential for creating well-paying jobs
and boosting the Kitsap economy.”
A complete story will follow.
