“The plan announced today by Boeing to invest nearly $2 billion and add 500 high-quality jobs in our community demonstrates their continued commitment to St. Louis and to the future of advanced manufacturing in our metro,” said Jason Hall, CEO of Greater St. Louis, Inc.

“Announcements like this result from collaboration on behalf of the metro by committed stakeholders, demonstrating the power of speaking with one voice as a metro. We’ve been engaged on this project for more than a year and look forward to continuing our work with Boeing and our partners to keep growing St. Louis’ advanced manufacturing sector.”
