Blumenthal Statement on Major Contracts for Sikorsky

[Hartford, CT] - Today, U.S. Senator Richard Blumenthal, a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, released a statement celebrating the U.S. Army's award of two contacts for Sikorsky to continue work on UH/HH-60M Black Hawk helicopters.

"These contracts--$56.8 million for more Black Hawks and $49.9 million to develop new and improved engines--is a strong sign of the US Army's commitment to the Black Hawk program and will keep Sikorsky's talented workforce busy for years to come. I am thrilled to see Sikorsky awarded this important work and will keep fighting for federal funding to support our state's defense industry," Blumenthal said.
