Aberdeen Secures Spar Yard Retention and Expansion
The Endresen spar yards will stay in Aberdeen under a 15 year lease of Clark street land at nominal rent. The move backs a local chamber effort to keep the industry from Hoquiam as Andersen shipyards reopen and Lindstrom yard activity resumes, promising growth and world wide promotion for the product. The city council ordered two weeks of rental advertisement.
