I just read on NOLA.com that Bollinger Shipyards is closing its New Orleans ship yard. Bollinger makes and repairs many kinds of ships.
They're closing down because it's very likely that the Mississippi Gulf Outlet, the short cut from New Orleans to the Gulf, will be closed down by the Army Corps of Engineers.
All 80 employees currently employed there have been offered jobs at other bollinger sites.
This is a bummer.
