Boeing has told South Carolina legislators it plans to invest $1 billion and hire at least 2,000 more workers in South Carolina by 2020.

The company made those promises this week as the South Carolinia Legislature began deliberations on a bill to give Boeing $120 million in upfront aid to expand its facilities there.

Boeing already has invested more than $1 billion in its site near the Charleston Airport where it assembles 787 Dreamliners and builds major components for those composite-bodied planes.

The company in 2009 rejected a plan that would have expanded 787 production at its Everett plant and instead announced a plan to build its first new aircraft assembly plant outside of Washington state in North Charleston.
