Boeing Plans Information Technology Center in St. Louis, Missouri, Creating 400 Jobs
06/18/2013
"Once again, another iconic brand that calls Missouri home is choosing to increase its investment in the Show-Me State, leading to high-paying jobs for Missourians and providing another significant boost to the state's economy," Gov. Nixon said. "The decision by Boeing to open an information technology center in St. Louis follows news of other major expansions by Monsanto and Ford that were announced this spring, totaling thousands of new career-supporting jobs that continue to power Missouri's economy."
Boeing is launching a plan to realign its 7,900 person internal IT unit, which handles a wide range of services for the company including fixing laptops to designing complex aircraft software, the Governor’s office said.
As part of the reconfiguration, the company plans to add at least 400 jobs to Boeing's massive north St. Louis County campus, headquarters of its defense unit, while others will be moved to the company's location in Charleston, South Carolina. The move will further position St. Louis, Missouri, as a region with significant strength in the technology industry.
The state of Missouri will help make Boeing's expansion in St. Louis County possible through a strategic package of economic incentives, which the company can redeem if it meets the strict job creation and investment criteria each program.
