Boeing announced Thursday afternoon that it is moving the company’s global headquarters to Northern Virginia just outside Washington, D.C. The move puts the aerospace giant closer to the nation’s decision makers, as the U.S. government is Boeing’s largest client.
According to a release, the aerospace giant is moving the headquarters from Chicago, Illinois, to a Boeing campus in Arlington, Virginia. The area is already heavily imprinted by Boeing, as the aerospace and defense firm’s employees in the region support various corporate functions and specialize in advanced airplane development and autonomous systems.
