A new machine shop being constructed by Fincantieri Bay Shipbuilding in Sturgeon Bay will allow workers to use two overhead cranes – one able to lift 30 tons.
Company officials say the facility will improve working conditions for its repair business.
They say the use of the 19,000-square-foot building will reduce the dust and noise impacts for people who live near the shipyard.
Work previously done outside will be moved inside the new building.
Construction should be completed next year.
