Boeing is at it again here inCharleston, South Carolina! Boeing just announced they will be adding 600 IT jobs in the next three years to North Charleston. Andrew Favreau the spokesman for Boeing said, “The other thing that’s challenging is that our plans continue to evolve and change. One of the things that we’ve committed to our employees is to be as transparent and as open as possible. It’s difficult to give absolutes because, as we learn more, we make adjustments through our ongoing conversations with them.”

Charleston Regional Business Journal states, “The Lowcountry jobs figure comes less than a week after Gov. Nikki Haley, state lawmakers and Boeing officials celebrated the passage of a $120 million bond bill, which will pay for infrastructure work related to Boeing’s second phase of expansion in the Lowcountry. The company expects to add 2,000 jobs and invest another $1.1 billion during the next eight years, pushing its total employment to roughly 8,000 workers and its total investment to roughly $2 billion.“

S.C. House Speaker Bobby Harrell is happy with this decision by saying, “This is a company that under-promises and over-delivers.”
