Jefferson County economic development officials and the Little Rock Port Authority were recognized by Entergy Arkansas’ Office of Business and Economic Development for receiving a Select Site certification for conducting a comprehensive review and documentation process for their 44-acre industrial site and 37-acre site respectively, making the sites ready for prospective manufacturing or distribution projects.

For 12 years running, Site Selection magazine has named Entergy Corporation as one of the nation’s top utilities in economic development. The award is due in large part to the vital role Entergy played in supporting projects that resulted in nearly $13.4 billion of capital investment and the creation of more than 4,750 new jobs within the service territory in 2018.

Entergy Arkansas is a key partner with the state in a new initiative designed to help communities become more competitive in bringing jobs and investment to Arkansas.
