Senator Jack Reed says more work will be coming to Rhode Island thanks to a contract to build next-gen submarines.
Reed is applauding the Department of Defense's decision to award 76-billion-dollars to Quonset Point, Groton, Connecticut and Newport News, Virginia.
Reed says this will be a major boost for Rhode Island's defense workforce.
He says the new contract is a win for the Ocean State, the region and the thousands who design and build the high-tech, next-generation submarines.
