Boeing on Friday started notifying locations around the country of their status in the 777X site selection process, company spokesman Doug Alder said.

“We’re appreciative of everyone who has taken part, and our teams continue to evaluate the sites that remain under consideration,” Alder said. “A final decision is expected early next year.”

Though Alder said Boeing won’t identify any of the locations, word leaked out Friday that North Carolina was out of the running.

In Pennsylvania, a spokesman for the state Department of Economic and Community Development told the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review that the state heard Friday from Boeing it didn’t make the cut.

1. Hopefully the work will be in the United States, at least.

I wonder if stuff being built in the United States is okay under the TPP.
Seriously, if the United States is not going to be allowed to purchase only U.S. made things - where will that trajectory end? If Boeing only considers the United States, can other countries sue for perceived lost income?
