🚨Exciting news for Hot Springs and Garland County!

The Hot Springs Metro Partnership is proud to announce that we have been awarded $2,123,972 through the Arkansas Site Development Program, made possible by Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders, the Arkansas Economic Development Commission, and the Arkansas Legislature.

These funds will be used to enhance a Metro Partnership-owned industrial site, making it shovel-ready and more competitive for prospective manufacturers. This investment represents a major step forward in positioning Garland County for future economic growth, new business recruitment, and quality job creation.

We are grateful to Governor Sanders, the Arkansas Legislature, and AEDC for their commitment to strengthening communities across our state and for investing in the long-term success of our region. 💙
