Boeing holds opening for SC technology center
NORTH CHARLESTON, S.C. – Boeing, which now employs about 7,500 in South Carolina, celebrated another expansion in the state on Thursday with the grand opening of its new research and technology center a few miles from the massive plant where it assembles the 787 Dreamliner. Hundreds of workers, top company officials and local leaders turned out as two robots stretched a blue ribbon across a stage which was then cut by dignitaries.
