Electric Boat announced Friday that it signed a $544 million contract with Los Angeles-based AECOM to construct a 200,000-square-foot building, where 1,400 shipbuilders will assemble a new fleet of ballistic-missile submarines. The new building is the centerpiece of an $850 million expansion project in Groton. Overall, the company is investing $1.7 billion to modernize and upgrade its facilities in Connecticut and Rhode Island. Early construction began in 2017 at the company’s facility in Quonset Point, R.I. Final assembly and testing will take place starting in 2024 in Groton.
