Today, I received word from Lockheed Martin that they are reversing their decision to close the Sikorsky helicopter plant in Coatesville.

I am pleased that following the June 10, 2019 letter I sent, along with the efforts of @RepHoulahan and other local elected officials, Lockheed Martin heeded our call to keep the plant’s 465 workers on the job.

However, while this announcement is an encouraging first step, I am concerned that the announcement lacks a specific plan to bring new work to the Coatesville facility that would keep the plant open beyond the next several months.

The Sirkorsky Coatesville employees deserve answers on the long-term viability of the plant and I look forward to hearing more from Lockheed Martin about a comprehensive plan to ensure livelihoods in Chester County.

I will continue to fight to grow and preserve family-sustaining jobs in Southeastern Pennsylvania and across the Commonwealth.
