Lots of pink slips handed out over there at the end of June.
Yeah, they're down to about 1,000 workers there now, around one-fourth of the usual head count. Half of those remaining will be gone in a month or two.
I grew up practically in the shadow of that facility, back when it was still building the Saturn V booster stages. Never worked there, but a number of relatives and friends did over the years. It's sad that for the first time since WWII, that facility has no immediate future. Well, except for the other federal tenants on the grounds, like the federal payroll processing people. You know *they* aren't going anywhere.
