SALINA, N.Y. — Lockheed Martin Corp. (NYSE: LMT) announced it plans to shift jobs to its plant in Salina as part of a consolidation in one of its business units.

Local media reports in the affected markets had indicated that the Bethesda, Maryland–based defense contractor had plans to close two of its plants in that process, including facilities in Middle River, Maryland and Marion, Massachusetts.
