East Bank to be cleaned up

PASCAGOULA, Miss. – Northrop Grumman Shipbuilding’s East Bank property will be cleaned up by the end of the year. A contractor will be demolishing all of the buildings and warehouses on the 166-acre area that Northrop Grumman no longer uses, spokesman Bill Glenn said. Work should begin in two weeks. The East Bank is the original site of the shipyard until it acquired land on the west side of the river. (Source: Mississippi Press, 02/16/10) Note: In 2004 Northrop Grumman looked into the possibility of converting the yard into an industrial park for contractors.
