Lockheed Martin Expansion To Bring 500 Jobs To Colorado
LITTLETON, Colo. (CBS4)- Lockheed Martin is expanding in Colorado with its new commercial space headquarters in Littleton.
Gov. John Hickenlooper joined other company officials to cut the ribbon on the new facility.
The headquarters should bring 500 high-paying aerospace jobs to Colorado over the next eight years.
"This is another example why Lockheed Martin matters so much to Colorado. These 500 jobs are important jobs but more importantly this is a major expansion," said Hickenlooper.
Lockheed Martin's commercial space division has launched more than 100 satellites. Those satellites are used for everything from predicting the weather to taking high resolution pictures from space.
