(WTAQ-WLUK) — A grant will help improve marine infrastructure for Marinette Marine along the Menominee River.
Fincantieri Marinette Marine will receive $3 million from the state’s Harbor Assistance Program.
Marinette Marine will use the funding to offset costs of dredging, repairing dock walls, installing mooring bollards and fenders to maintain the safe navigation and mooring of vessels built at the busy shipyard along the Menominee River.
Marinette Marine is the prime defense contractor building the Navy’s newest class of ships: Constellation-class Frigates. The first ship is expected to deliver in 2029, and Marinette Marine has contracts for five additional vessels to follow.
