HII & US Navy Announce New Parking Garage at Newport News Shipbuilding
17 Junho 2024 - 12:30PM
HII’s (NYSE: HII) Newport News Shipbuilding division, alongside
U.S. Navy, city of Newport News and commonwealth of Virginia
partners, announced today construction of a new parking garage that
will enhance the working experience for NNS shipbuilders and
sailors assigned to the shipyard.
Once complete, the new parking structure will create more than
2,000 new parking spaces at NNS, significantly improving access to
parking at Virginia’s largest industrial employer. Contractor W.M.
Jordan will build the garage, with some pre-construction
fabrication occurring offsite — an innovative design-build strategy
that will reduce the time it takes to complete this project. This
increase in parking availability will support future Navy and NNS
commitments to deliver ships vital to the Navy’s needs.
“For over a century, Newport News Shipbuilding and the City of
Newport News have grown up together, alongside the U.S. Navy,” NNS
President Jennifer Boykin said. “We are intertwined, always
supporting each other, and always succeeding together. This new
parking garage is exciting news that will contribute to the ongoing
transformation of Newport News Shipbuilding and downtown Newport
News and the experience our shipbuilders and the sailors assigned
to our shipyard have when they come here every day.”

“Today’s announcement demonstrates that leadership is listening
to its sailors and we’re taking action,” said Rear Adm. Casey
Moton, commander, Program Executive Office Aircraft Carriers.
“While this is one action of many, it is important to recognize
we’re not doing this alone. The partnership shown here today
reflects the commitment of the wider community and that sailors
assigned here can expect to have the resources they need to be
successful.”
“Our sailors and shipbuilders are a part of the backbone of our
nation and our community,” Virginia State Sen. Mamie Locke said.
“They deserve a community that supports their dedication and hard
work. This entire initiative will not only alleviate parking
challenges but also contribute to the vibrancy of our community and
to the positive experience that our military personnel and
shipbuilders have when they live and work here.”
“It is essential that we continue to cement the city’s
partnership with the Navy and Newport News Shipbuilding to amplify
our investment in downtown,” city of Newport News Mayor Phillip
Jones said. “Today’s announcement of additional funding furthers
the commitment by HII and the Navy with an even bigger boost to the
current improvements occurring downtown.”
The new garage will be constructed on two current NNS parking
lots, situated between 37th and 39th Streets, between Huntington
Avenue and Warwick Boulevard. HII is working closely with the Navy
and city on the design, and will communicate additional details as
the plan is finalized.
NNS is the nation’s sole designer, builder and refueler of
nuclear-powered aircraft carriers and one of only two shipyards
capable of designing and building nuclear‐powered submarines.
