ForwardEdge ASIC grant extension denial
Summary
The council refused to give a Lockheed Martin subsidiary more time to hit its 113-job hiring target for an $800,000 forgivable state loan, after 27 residents opposed the extension over the company's weapons work and ICE contracts. Denial likely sends roughly $200,000 back to the state.
