Boeing to break ground in SC next week


Posted at 9:48 am by Michelle Dunlop

The Boeing Co. has scheduled a groundbreaking ceremony next week for its new 787 facility in South Carolina.

Last month, Boeing picked Charleston, S.C., as the site of its second 787 assembly line over Everett, the location of its wide body factory and original 787 line. Earlier this year, Boeing bought out supplier Vought's 787 parts factory in Charleston. The groundbreaking ceremony is scheduled for Fri., Nov. 20.

Boeing's new facility will be located near the Charleston International Airport. The company intends to have the second line operational in 2011.

Boeing's all-new fuel-efficient 787 has won 850 orders. But the company has fallen more than two years behind schedule in delivering the mostly composite Dreamliner. Boeing has said the 787 will make its first flight by the end of the year.
