December 2013 Group Watch: Boeing Plant?
Alabama Governor Robert Bentley says the state is working hard to secure a deal with Boeing for the production of the Boeing 777X. Bentley says Alabama was the first state Boeing met with and a cited history with the company going back over 50 years. He pointed out that engineers in Huntsville helped redesigned the 787 Dreamliner. South Carolina, Missouri and Washington are also in the running. Boeing is currently based in Washington.
