"Navy and Ingalls break ground on $50 million support complex in Pascagoula"
HII
Shovels are in the ground in Pascagoula for a $50 million Navy support complex at the state's biggest manufacturing employer.
Ingalls Shipbuilding and the Navy's Gulf Coast shipbuilding supervisors broke ground Tuesday, Nov. 10, on a customer support building covering 101,000 square feet. Paid for through a Navy and Ingalls partnership, it will gather the supervisors' Pascagoula staff under one roof on land leased from the port there.
That staff runs to more than 600 military and civilian workers. Their oversight covers Navy contracts at yards in Mississippi and in neighboring Louisiana and Alabama, from engineering and quality checks to contract and money matters through a ship's construction and delivery.
"Shipbuilding is a national imperative, and this project will bring our team together under one roof," Capt. Randy Slaff, SUPSHIP Gulf Coast commanding officer, said.
The complex is scheduled to be finished in June 2028.
