Is Philadelphia Yard ...

BACK IN BUSINESS?

Pennsylvania Legislature Approves $180 M Shipyard Plan

Pennsylvania's House and

Senate approved more than $180 million of funds to help revitalize the Philadelphia Naval Shipyard.

The money is the proverbial car- rot to convince Kvaerner A/S to make Philadelphia its U.S. head- quarters. The measure now moves to Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Ridge, who has recently lobbied for its passage. The shipyard provisions were included in an overall $3 bil- lion, multi-year capital spending plan.

State aid for the naval yard reportedly would be combined with several other sources as part of the plan to reopen the Philadelphia shipyard.

The Philadelphia Inquirer reported that the plan envisions about $300 million from Kvaerner, $180 million from the state, $50 million from the federal govern- ment, $60 million from the

Delaware River Port Authority and $50 million from Philadelphia.

However, Kvaerner authorities denied that it had plans to invest in the yard. While company repre- sentatives admitted that they have recently visited the old shipyard, they maintain there are currently no concrete plans to invest.
