The Seattle P-I is reporting that Boeing’s second 787 line will be built in South Carolina. Stay tuned for details.

UPDATE: Here is Boeing’s news release, which says they chose South Carolina for the new plant because it “allows us to continue building on the synergies we have established in South Carolina with Boeing Charleston and Global Aeronautica,” said Jim Albaugh, president and CEO. He said the move will strengthen Boeing’s competitiveness in the long-range.
