Boeing to seek permits for potential 787 line in North Charleston
(via Boeing internal)
Boeing will notify the state of South Carolina today that the company intends to file for permits that would allow construction of a second 787 final assembly facility in North Charleston. This is a procedural step, and it does not mean that the company has decided where to locate a second 787 line, company officials said. The issue of a second production line remains under study, although a decision is expected before the end of 2009. Filing at this time is necessary because the permitting process is comprehensive and requires substantial lead time.
