Trinity Industries To Buy Bethlehem Steel's 74-Acre Beaumont, Texas, Facility Bethlehem Steel Corporation re- cently confirmed that it has signed a letter of intent with Trinity Indus- tries, Inc. of Dallas, Texas, for the sale of its 74-acre Beaumont facili- ty. David H. Klinges, president of Bethlehem's marine construction division, said that Bethlehem is pleased that a major Texas-based company is purchasing the former ship repair yard with its buildings, shops, machinery, and other facili- ties, since it should provide new job opportunities for local residents and help stabilize the economy of the City of Beaumont. Mr. Klinges acknowledged the assistance and efforts by Beau- mont's Mayor Maury Meyers, as well as State Representative Mark Stiles, in attracting Trinity Indus- tries as the potential buyer, and the involvement of Congressman Jack Brooks and U.S. Senators Bents- en and Gramm in helping to iden- tify alternative uses of the yard. Located on the Neches River, the Beaumont facility was purchased by Bethlehem Steel in 1947. The facili- ty was used to design, build and repair commercial and military ves- sels and mobile offshore drill rigs, and fabricate industrial products. The yard was closed in August 1988. In connection with this divesti- ture, Bethlehem recorded a restruc- turing charge in the fourth quarter of 1987.
