Earl Industries Lease Agreement Approved
July 28th, 2010 by Rachel PritchettBREMERTON
Earl Industries LLC, the Portsmouth, Va.-based Navy ship repair
company, will move into the Port of Bremerton’s industrial
park.
Port commissioners Tuesday approved a $3,960-a-month lease, which
buys the use of a 7,200-square-foot building for Earl
Industries.
The company is expecting to win a contract from the Navy to perform
repair and maintenance work on the big flattop USS Nimitz, due in
to Puget Sound Naval Shipyard in December. The $250 million in
repairs is expected to occur over 16 months.
Port Chief Executive Officer Cary Bozeman congratulated port
real-estate director Tim Thompson for getting the new tenant,
saying there were other competitors for the business.
In other action, commissioners gave final approval on the
now-completed refurbishing of the 6,000-foot-long runway at
Bremerton National Airport. The $3.2 million project that included
repaving the runway and improving drainage was paid for almost
entirely by the Federal Aviation Administration.
