March 15, 2020 – Battleship IOWA Closure Update

Some of things going on to assist with closure including Finance Teams work with insurance and financing, Developments (Joleen) work on contributions and donor servicing, and Operations / IT work on power reduction. We will continue to maintain the ship and have work days for the Operations and Security teams. Deck power will be available for welding, painting, and deck work. Full ship power will be on Wednesdays and Saturdays for other maintenance related work.
