Boeing has officially relocated its Defense, Space & Security headquarters back to St. Louis, nearly a decade after moving to Virginia. This decision, praised by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth during his visit, is expected to bolster the regional aerospace and aviation industry. Hegseth emphasized the need for increased production and speed within the defense sector, calling the move a significant win for the heartland. As Boeing reestablishes its presence in St. Louis, it signals a shift towards regional manufacturing and job creation in defense-related sectors.
