Boeing moving HQ from Chicago

Boeing plans to move corporate headquarters from Chicago to Northern Virginia, the Wall Street Journal reported and Forbes confirmed Thursday. Boeing could announce its move to Arlington County, Va., across the Potomac River from D.C., next week, the Journal and the Washington Post reported. Boeing’s Defense, Space and Security division is already headquartered in Arlington, Va. Boeing first moved its executives to Chicago in 2001, leaving the Seattle region, which had been Boeing's home for decades and is still where most of its commercial airplanes are produced.
