The expansion of a Blytheville steel
plant, for which county funding was recently approved, is expected
to bring 40 new jobs for the area.
The Mississippi County Quorum Court adopted a resolution yesterday to pay for part of the Prospect Steel Company expansion. The county`s money will go toward buying land.
The company, based in Little Rock, has a 30 thousand square foot facility in Blytheville. The county decided to assist in the expansion to increase employment, said Court Judge Steve McGuire.
The court also certified the company for benefits from sales and
allowed the company to use tax refunds as provided by the Tax Back Program.
