WASHINGTON – Nearly $11 million for a new submarine maintenance facility at the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard is making its way through Congress.

The money has been approved by a House committee. It would be used to build a new facility to maintain, repair, refuel and overhaul nuclear submarines at the yard in Kittery, Maine.

The request was submitted by New Hampshire Congresswoman Carol Shea-Porter. She said helping the shipyard and protecting workers’ jobs there are among her top priorities.

The request still has to pass through the House and Senate.
