The Boeing Co. will receive from the state of South Carolina incentives worth roughly double the amount initially estimated by state officials there.

On Sunday, The Post and Courier published this report, which reveals more than $900 million in state incentives. That’s twice the $450 million estimated by S.C. lawmakers last fall.

The newspaper gives a breakdown of the incentives in this illustration.

The $941 million figure that the Post and Courier provides still falls far short of the $3.2 billion in incentives offered by Washington state to Boeing and its suppliers for the first 787 assembly line back in 2003.
