Sikorsky Aircraft Corp. reportedly is closing a military helicopter retooling facility in Texas, after having moved it there from Florida in 2006.
As of a year ago, Stratford-based Sikorsky employed more than 300 people in Beeville, according to the Corpus Christi Caller Times, but today that number has dwindled to about a dozen employees and several subcontractors.
Separately, Poland reportedly plans to spend $900 million on new helicopters, with Sikorsky an expected bidder and with the manufacturer maintaining its international production facility in Poland.
