Gov. Malloy Signs Call for Special Session to Enact Legislation Supporting Job Growth in the State's Helicopter Aerospace Manufacturing Sector
(HARTFORD, CT) - Governor Dannel P. Malloy today announced that he has signed a proclamation calling the Connecticut General Assembly to convene in special session at 9:00 a.m. on Wednesday, September 28, 2016 in order to enact legislation that will sustain job growth in Connecticut's robust helicopter aerospace manufacturing sector.
The special session will afford lawmakers an opportunity to consider the agreement that Governor Malloy and Lockheed Martin announced earlier this week, which is subject to legislative and union approval, that will retain and grow approximately 8,000 jobs at Sikorsky Aircraft until 2032, keep the Sikorsky headquarters here in Connecticut, and increase investments in in-state suppliers.
