Arkansas would be an excellent state to locate a manufacturing company making products such as mobile homes.. Real estate is relatively cheap, there is lots of open space to build factories, taxes are low, there is a large, well educated work force, it is well located to many different transportation systems, and close to a large number of potential customers. Good luck on your project.
well i live in arkansas we do alot of farming (rice,cotten,beans ect.) we do wood working some and well just do some research on it! lol
The majority of the state is agriculture based as the previous posters pointed out, but depending on your region of the state, the environment can be very different. In Eastern and Southern Arkansas, farming, primarily cotton and rice, are dominant. In Central Arkansas, you have the Little Rock metro area which is home to a number of industries, has a large railroad presence, as well as large and growing presences of tech companies like Axciom and HP. Northern Arkansas (particularly North Central) and the Hot Springs area are very tourist friendly with lakes, springs, and lots of recreational activities, so hotels and tourism based industries thrive there. Northwestern Arkansas is a technology and business hub, home to Wal-Mart, JB Hunt, Tyson, and 300 of the Fortune 500 have major offices there, as well as a World Trade Center, so any type of merchandising, marketing, technology, or sustainability research company tend to be centered out of that metro area. There are also large colleges or universities in Northwest Arkansas, Northeast Arkansas, and Central Arkansas, so higher education related businesses succeed there.
