Happy 94th Birthday, Boeing

I learned it this morning on Twitter from @BoeingCorporate.  William Boeing incorporated his company on July 15, 1916.

We like Boeing.  So does Ohio.

Besides being the Port Authority's largest customer, we like the impact Boeing has on Ohio.


 

$4,780,316,038

The 10-digit dollar figure above is the actual amount Boeing spent in Ohio in 2009 with over 500 vendors.

That's over 1% of Ohio's Gross Domestic Product and it didn't go down with the Great Recession, either.

One company buying 1% of a state the size of Ohio's GDP?  Impressive.

Thanks, Boeing.

All Ohioans should do a toast to Boeing's birthday with hopes for more to come too.  The more the merrier.
