ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
Since 2010 The Southeast Arkansas Economic Development District has worked with our State and Federal Partners to attract over $36,000,000 in investments to expand and attract business and industry to our region.
As a requirement of the US Department of Commerce Economic Development Administration Planning Investment, Southeast Arkansas Economic Development District developed a Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS) that will serve as a blueprint to diversify and strengthen our regional economies.
Southeast Arkansas Economic Development District’s CEDS is now available for review. Download 2023 Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (PDF)
