It seems like it's going on there more because it is conducive to talented/idea people being there in a big group rather than about tax structure.

Boeing though just built a new facility in another state because of union issues (apparently).

Bottom line is that it's a part of the business decision, but not the only part and maybe not even the biggest part.

Boeing has a new assembly site in South Carolina opened in 2011.

This is especially ironic (and painful) for Kansas since Boeing had been a major employer in the Wichita area for decades. It sold its Wichita Commercial Airplanes division to Spirit AeroSystems in the mid-2000s.
