Electric Boat's New Warehouse: Boosting Sub Production

0:00It's April 22nd. This is Hartford News today, local news powered by AI. Electric boat just broke ground on a huge new warehouse in North Stonington, Connecticut. This 480,000 square foot spot will stock parts for Virginia and Columbia class submarines, feeding their shipyards in Groton, and Quonset Point, Rhode Island. They snag nearly 55 acres at 45 frontage road, right off Interstate 95, buying it for $5,500,000. This is from the Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation. No word yet on the bill costs, but it's all about streamlining operations. Beth Rafferty, the VP of Facilities, says this fits their big plan to ship support work away from crowded waterfront sites, freeing up space for core, subbuilding. The setup includes 13 loading docks, three vehicle ramps, and 75 parking spots to handle supplier shipments from across the country.
