An additional seven cities are working toward completion. “It is exciting to bring together community leaders and the Arkansas Economic Development team to work on the Project Readiness Educational Program,” said Mike Malone, president of the Texarkana Chamber of Commerce.

“It provided a learning experience for everyone about the Texarkana community, its many assets, and the opportunities companies can find here. Our excitement continues as we grow economic opportunities.”
