BROWN HAILS THE ARRIVAL OF BOEING TO THE FIRST DISTRICT
CHARLESTON, SC - Today, Congressman Henry E. Brown Jr. (R-SC) made the following statement after Boeing Company officials made the long-awaited announcement that they have selected North Charleston as the new location for the second 787 Dreamliner assembly line:
“Boeing’s announcement that they have chosen North Charleston, South Carolina as the location of their newest assembly line for the 787 is incredible news for the Lowcountry and our state.
I, along with the rest of the state of South Carolina, warmly receive Boeing’s expanded presence in our community and the bright future of employment and prosperity that they bring with them.
The greatly anticipated arrival of Boeing’s 787 marks an important milestone in our state’s involvement in commercial aviation, and I am proud that the First District has been chosen to be an even more important part of its production.
I would like to congratulate the South Carolina delegation, our state legislators, state officials and all the other parties involved for their hard work and efforts in getting Boeing to North Charleston.
It certainly is a wonderful company, run by the outstanding leadership of Mr. James McNerney, Jr. and we are proud to welcome them to the Palmetto state.”
