Boeing did not disclose how much it paid for the seven-year naming-rights deal.
announced Tuesday it will be rebranded the Boeing Center at Tech Port, named after the aircraft industry company that boasts the most staff members on the South Side campus and is one of the largest employers in San Antonio. The name change is effective immediately, though new signage is still in the works.
Though the branding terms weren’t disclosed, Boeing Global Services CEO Stephanie Pope said the company has also promised to give $2.3 million to the Kelly Heritage Foundation, an educational nonprofit affiliated with Port San Antonio. “You’re sitting inside an experiment,” Perschbach told hundreds of people who turned out Tuesday. “We’re never going to make a penny off of this. Every concert that you go to, every $15 beer that you buy from us, it all goes to support the Kelly Heritage Foundation.”
“When it started, Boeing was doing very much what we had been doing on Kelly Air Force Base, which is what’s called within the industry as ‘tin bending’ or working on airframes,” Perschbach said in an interview before Tuesday’s event.
