It's official! Boeing is coming to Charleston, SC, and over the next seven years bringing 3800 jobs! Needless to say, we are excited! Here's more from the Charleston City Paper:
Boeing picks Charleston
"This decision allows us to continue building on the synergies we have established in South Carolina with Boeing Charleston and Global Aeronautica," says Jim Albaugh, president and CEO of Boeing Commercial Airplanes, adding that this move will strengthen the company's competitiveness and sustainability and help it grow for the long term.
State House Speaker Bobby Harrell calls it the biggest economic development announcement in a decade.
"Today’s announcement declares to the global business community that South Carolina is back in the game and open for business," he says. "We want you to come to our state."
