U.S. Representative Rick Larsen congratulated Dakota Creek Industries today for winning the contract to build the Navy’s new Auxiliary General Oceanographic Research Vessel (AGOR).
“The announcement made by the Navy awarding the $74.1 million contract to Dakota Creek Industries is good news for the community of Anacortes, and more importantly, it means jobs” Larsen said. “The AGOR contract will ensure that there will be a shipyard of workers, providing living wage jobs for the boat builder, their suppliers, and local businesses that depend on Dakota Creek Industries.”
