St. Charles Regional Chamber Welcomes Boeing Defense, Space & Security Headquarters Move Back to St. Louis

The St. Charles Regional Chamber welcomes the announcement that Boeing Defense, Space & Security (BDS) will relocate its headquarters back to St. Louis, bringing leadership closer to the workforce and facilities that design, build, and support critical defense products.

With more than 18,000 Boeing employees in the region, this decision underscores the strength of the St. Louis area’s talent, advanced manufacturing capabilities, and strategic importance to national defense.

“This move reinforces the vital role our region plays in aerospace innovation and defense,” said Scott Tate, President & CEO of the St. Charles Regional Chamber. “It is a significant win for our economy, workforce, and the many local businesses that support Boeing’s operations.”

The Chamber looks forward to continuing to support BDS and the region’s growing aerospace and defense ecosystem that drives investment, innovation, and high-quality jobs throughout St. Charles County and the broader St. Louis region.
