Boeing said it is moving its headquarters from Chicago though it will still maintain a “strong” presence in the city, whose reputation as a major hub that welcomes corporations and their staff stands in contrast to a recent upsurge in crime.
The plane-making giant said in a May 5 statement that it will relocate its global headquarters to its Arlington, Virginia campus on the outskirts of Washington, D.C., where Boeing hopes to tap into an engineering talent pool and leverage the proximity of key stakeholders.
