Boeing apparently will build its new
7E7 Dreamliner passenger plane in Everett, Washington.
The company had investigated more than 30 cities as sites for
the assembly plant and its 12-hundred jobs, including three sites
in Arkansas proposed by state economic-development officials.
But a Seattle newspaper reports that Boeing has picked Everett,
25 miles north of Seattle, as the site for the assembly plant.
A Boeing spokesman would not comment on the report.
