Lockheed's $900,000 tax break rejected for now

A Montgomery County Council committee voted against funding a $900,000 tax break for Lockheed Martin on Thursday.

However, the Council’s Planning, Housing and Economic Development Committee plans to take a second look at legislation that would exempt Lockheed Martin’s Center for Leadership Excellence from the county’s hotel-motel tax, which was County Executive Ike Leggett’s aim in proposing the $900,000 grant in the first place.
