Planemaker Boeing is shifting its headquarters from Chicago to the Washington, D.C area. It said it will turn its campus in Arlington, Virginia into a new HQ.
It would give it easier access to federal government officials and decision-makers, and closer to Pentagon leaders as a major defense contractor.
Boeing plans to open a research and technology center in Arlington.”The region makes strategic sense for our global headquarters given its proximity to our customers and stakeholders,” Boeing CEO David Calhoun said.
