City and Regional Overview

A recent community assessment by Lockwood Greene reported: “Rarely has Lockwood Greene seen a more positive local business climate…”

The people of Mississippi County have committed themselves to forging new and lasting partnerships with business and industry. In 2003, the county created an innovative publicly-funded program to create highly competitive incentives for industrial and commercial growth. This program provides funding to incoming industry or expanding existing industry that can be used for almost any tangible aspect of growth, from the purchase of land and buildings to the construction of new infrastructure.

The combined attributes of the Greater Blytheville Area — good accessibility, strong workforce potential, a pro-business atmosphere and a progressive incentive program — are complimented by a population of  residents who are absolutely focused on growth and progress.
