The Delta Regional Authority and Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson today announced $500,000 in new DRA investments to strengthen Arkansas’s infrastructure, workforce and economy.

In Cleveland County, DRA is investing $251,093 to improve water infrastructure that will support the relocation and expansion of two businesses, including extending water service to a lumber mill that is expanding along Highway 79. In addition, the enhanced water system will allow a poultry farm to expand operations and double its capacity.

About 20 new jobs will be created while another 13 jobs will be retained by the two businesses; water improvements also will benefit 650 families in the area.
