Sanford expects boost in SC with Boeing decision
South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford says he expects Boeing's decision to build a jet airliner plant in North Charleston will benefit the entire state.
The Associated Press
South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford says he expects Boeing's decision to build a jet airliner plant in North Charleston will benefit the entire state.
Sanford told WIS-TV in Columbia on Thursday that he expects the pattern of Boeing's impact to be similar to that of BMW when the automaker built its first manufacturing plant in the United States in Greer.
Sanford notes that BMW suppliers have a network across the state. And he points out that Boeing's plans for the 787 jetliner are three times larger than BMW's initial announcement. Boeing's is the largest single announcement in state history, both in terms of jobs and investment.
South Carolina lawmakers offered Boeing an incentive package worth $170 million, if the company spends at least $750 million and creates at least 3,800 jobs within seven years.
