A Charleston, S.C., city councilman seemed pretty confident about Boeing expanding its 787 site there, according to this story in the Post and Courier.
During a Charleston County Aviation Authority board meeting, Tim Mallard, who apparently is a board member and city councilman, wanted to talk about Boeing’s future in the region.
According to the publication:
“From what I hear we are going to have the opportunity for some job creation here by Boeing … ” Mallard began before authority chairman David Jennings cut in and told him to wait until closed session. … “Suppliers for Boeing are going to start coming, and it will be more than one in the next year,” he continued.
Boeing is looking at both Charleston and Everett for its second 787 assembly line. The company is expected to make its decision in a few weeks, Boeing CEO Jim McNerney told reporters and analysts yesterday.
