Boeing's office in Arlington, Virginia, will become its new global headquarters instead of Chicago, a move that could be a product of the CEO's ties to the commonwealth's Gov. GlennYoungkin.
The move, which the company announced on Thursday, is partly due to the work of Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin and Sen. Mark Warner , the company said. Youngkin, who was sworn in as governor earlier this year, has a personal relationship with Boeing CEO and President David Calhoun, according to the Washington Post. "We are excited to build on our foundation here in Northern Virginia.
"From day one, our goal has been to make Virginia the best place to live, work, and raise a family," Youngkin said in a statement."I want to thank Boeing, its CEO Dave Calhoun, and its leadership for choosing Virginia."
