Florida Keys Vandenberg reef project prepares to sail forward
KEY WEST, Fla. -- The state of Florida is poised to contribute up to $1.6 million to satisfy a shipyard lien so a 524-foot decommissioned Air Force missile tracking vessel can be scuttled as an artificial reef off the Florida Keys, Key West officials.
The money to complete the Gen. Hoyt S. Vandenberg project is to come from an Office of Tourism, Trade and Economic Development grant. But a contract between the state and the city has to be executed and additional details are pending.
A federal judge recently ordered the auction of the ship after a contractor failed to pay Colonna’s Shipyard in Norfolk, Va., for cleanup of the vessel.
Key West City Commissioner Bill Verge predicted the Vandenberg would be towed from Colonna's Shipyard in Norfolk, to Key West in December, with a scuttling to take place in February 2009.
