Island plans to add as many as 150 new jobs in the next three years
that would pay an average of $52,000 a year.
C&G Boat Works currently employs 360 people. The company will
get up to $118,800 in tax breaks. The incentives were granted for
the $1.35 million C&G Boat will spend to build a pedestrian bridge
over the Cochrane Causeway and a new parking lot. The walkway will
link the new lot to the existing 12-acre shipyard on the Mobile
River side.

boats.
C&G is one of a series of fast-growing Mobile-area shipyards.
Austal USA is planning a $254 million expansion that could nearly
