Based on the results of the 2007 Marine Industries Survey, a request for proposals to develop a marine service industry at Sawmill Cove Industrial Park was released in the spring of 2009. One proposal was received and preliminary negotiations took place with major shipyard. However, as of April 2010, it appears this shipyard has withdrawn its interest.
