What's this?

Boeing moved their HQ to Chicago after the McDonnell Douglas merger.

It was billed as a merger of equals, so they picked a place that neither company had a presence in.

Nova makes a lot of sense. Boeing’s defense unit is already HQ’d in Crystal City. And they’re increasingly less reliant on the Puget Sound for the commercial aircraft business so it wouldn’t have made sense to move their HQ to Seattle.

I’m sure they’ll attempt to leverage VT’s Nova campus as well.

Hopefully, NOVA lands them instead of D.C. ** -- Hoakie82 05/05/2022 2:19PM

The article says Arlington, but then you would have to click on the link. ** -- UTPr0sim 05/05/2022 5:52PM

Know how many jobs that brings? ** -- HokieDan95 05/05/2022 2:20PM

6, maybe 8. ** -- PhotoHokieNC 05/06/2022 06:51AM

I’ve no idea but I’d expect their high paying jobs which brings taxable -- Hoakie82 05/05/2022 2:29PM

Surprised they ever moved to Chicago. -- EDGEMAN 05/05/2022 1:23PM

They debated a move to Dallas over the years. Was between Dallas or Chicago -- Va AandM 05/06/2022 08:07AM

VT should encourage them to "join the family" ** -- EDGEMAN 05/05/2022 2:03PM

Calhoun set up a nice Boeing donation to VT. ** -- RoswellGAHokie 05/05/2022 2:04PM

Makes sense. Its easier to beg DC for handouts when you're local. ** -- HokieNoVA 05/05/2022 1:05PM
