Monticello Economic

Development Commission

Welcome from the Director

Decisions, Decisions, Decisions. Decisions affecting not only the success of your business but also determining the destiny of scores of families. Where will you locate your expansion? The decision is yours. Compile the data. Crunch the numbers. Hold Meetings. Pray.

Then do what pros have done for years . . . flip a Coin. Flip a nickel and you'll see the word "Monticello" written right there on the back. Answers don't come much plainer than that. We're Monticello, Arkansas, and you'll flip over us!

Monticello is an aggressive community whose available workforce believes in a solid day's work for a fair day's pay. Considered the retail, recreational and cultural center of Southeast Arkansas with retail sales growth of 25% over the past six years. A 40-mile radius encompasses a population of 99,000. An approved interstate will soon connect Monticello to Interstate 40 to the north. Union Pacific rail service, an Interstate road, water port in close proximity and fiber optic cable help companies connect their business to the world while still enjoying a rich quality of life. Monticello's Workforce Training Center offers a full-time Training Coordinator to work with industry and business in providing customized training classes.

This regions' pro-business attitude, low cost of living, available workforce, transportation hub and unique quality of life make it a prime location for expansions or relocations.

We've been providing companies with the climate for strong and secure growth and development for years. Let us help provide your company with a climate for growth. The Monticello Economic Development Commission invites you to explore the opportunity of our great community in your next location decision.

Monticello, Arkansas - That'll Work!
