Luck is a Gamble. Readiness is a Guarantee.

Your next project shouldn't feel like a game of chance.

When speed to market is your priority, preparation consistently outperforms luck. Clark County, Arkansas, removes the gamble from your site selection process by delivering a foundation of proven workforce and infrastructure readiness from day one.

We’ve done the heavy lifting so you don't have to. By combining state-designated Competitive Community status with Certified Shovel-Ready Sites, we provide a "Heads or Tails, You Win" environment for industrial growth in Southwest Arkansas.

Backed by rigorous due diligence and independent certifications from ACT, Entergy Arkansas, and the Electric Cooperatives of Arkansas—we offer a guaranteed head start.

 Your next project shouldn't feel like a game of chance.

Groundbreaking Reliability

"Available" isn't a strong enough guarantee for your investment. You need locations that have already cleared the hurdles of rigorous due diligence. Our flagship property, the Southwest Arkansas Mega Site, is a premier Certified Shovel-Ready Site—a strategic 991-acre tract where the risk has been removed and the infrastructure is ready to perform from day one.

Clover But, we don't expect you to take our word for it. This site is independently vetted and designated by industry-leading third parties to ensure you can break ground with absolute confidence.

Verified Talent Pipeline

Clark County is home to a strong labor pool, supported by our two local universities and training programs that prepare graduates for careers in various industries. Workforce development initiatives and strong community ties further ensure that businesses have access to the talent they need to succeed.

ACT Work Ready Community

As an ACT® Work Ready Community, officially certified in May 2025, our labor pool is documented by the National Career Readiness Certificate (NCRC). This means our residents possess the foundational skills in applied math, graphic literacy, and workplace documents that modern industry demands.

Connected to the Corridor

I-30 Corridor

Clark County is strategically positioned along the I-30 corridor, providing your operation with seamless access to major regional hubs like Little Rock, Texarkana, and the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex. This connectivity ensures that your project is plugged into a primary distribution artery, allowing you to move products and materials with the efficiency that global markets demand.

Invested In Your Success

Incentive Fund

Our community readiness is backed by a voter-approved economic development sales tax, which provides a dedicated local incentive fund specifically for projects that create high-quality jobs and significant capital investment in our region.

This localized financial support is seamlessly integrated with the powerful incentives offered through the Arkansas Economic Development Commission, including performance-based income tax credits and sales and use tax refunds for eligible businesses.

Because we are a state-designated Competitive Community, our local leadership is pre-authorized and prepared to move at the speed of your business to customize an incentive package that meets your specific operational needs.
