Headline:  Youngstown Vindicator, 9/20/2023

For the second time in seven days, Lordstown Motors Corp. on Tuesday extended the deadline for interested parties to bid on the troubled electric-vehicle company’s assets. 

The notice filed in U.S. bankruptcy court in Delaware pushes the bid deadline back four days to 5 p.m. Friday. 

A previous notice, filed Sept. 12, extended the bid deadline to Monday from Sept. 8, the original bid deadline approved in August by Judge Mary F. Walrath, who is overseeing the Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceeding.
