Dec 13 (Reuters) - Boeing Co has obtained a $1-a-year lease for 468 acres (189 hectares) of state land near its factory in South Carolina, nearly double the amount expected for a planned expansion, a spokeswoman for the planemaker said on Friday.
Besides 267 acres (108 hectares) it had planned to lease from the Charleston County Aviation Authority, Boeing added another 201 acres (81 hectares) of North Charleston land that had been privately owned to the deal, spokeswoman Candy Eslinger said.
Boeing did not say what it plans to build on the land.
Palmetto Railways - a division of the South Carolina Department of Commerce - paid $49 million for the land, a department spokeswoman said. It will lease the property to Boeing for $1 a year until 2027, when the company can opt to buy the land.
