WILMINGTON, Del. (AP) - State officials are taking a wait-and-see approach to the financial troubles of Fisker Automotive
The News-Journal reports that Gov. Jack Markell says the state's primary objective is to get people working at a closed automobile plant and the state will deal with issues with Fisker as they happen. Delaware has backed a plan to build Fisker cars at the closed plant with $21 million in loans and grant aid tied to employment targets.
Co-founder Henrik Fisker left the company earlier this month. The company has also said it is seeking a strategic partner and additional financing. A $529 million loan from the Department of Energy was suspended in 2011 because of battery problems in its vehicles.
