Boeing’s expansion at MidAmerica Airport in St. Clair County has taken a step forward, as the aerospace giant signed a lease with the government that owns the facility.

“We have signed a lease at MidAmerica St. Louis Airport, which is a follow-on to the pre-development agreement Boeing and the airport signed in December of 2020 related to potential expansion of Boeing’s existing operations” at the airport, said Boeing spokesman Kurt LaBelle. “Those operations currently include production and flight test activities for defense-related programs. We are not releasing additional details at this time.”
