“Grumman Corporation Alteration — 1978”
The exact project or site has not yet been identified.
Grumman's Bethpage complex was the place where Long Island aircraft manufacturing reached the Moon: the company built the Apollo Lunar Module there and delivered the first flight unit to NASA in 1967. A 1978 alteration would have belonged to a campus already shifting beyond the Apollo program. The client and Bethpage setting are secure, but the specific building still needs company or permit records.
