We're starting off the week strong in Arkansas! Weyerhaeuser announced a $500 million investment near Monticello and Warren that will create 200 new jobs. This is great news for southeast Arkansas, and it will create new economic opportunities in one of our most important industries - the timber and forestry industry. This is just one more way we're keeping our foot on the gas in the Natural State! This project took a big team to win - thanks to State Senator Ben Gilmore, State Rep. Jeffrey Wardlaw, ATP, Nita McDaniel and the Monticello Economic Development Commission, and the leadership in Monticello, Warren, Drew County, and Bradley County. Thanks to JD Lowery and David Vondran for their leadership on the utility side. Congratulations to the AEDC team - Clint O'Neal, CEcD, Jennifer Emerson, EDFP, Olivia W., and Richard Eberle, who served as the project manager. “The announcement by Weyerhaeuser today is great news for Southeast Arkansas,” said State Senator Ben Gilmore, Chairman of the Arkansas Forestry Caucus. “Since the creation of the Forestry Caucus in 2022, we have advocated and passed legislation helping economic development efforts and expanding growth in the Arkansas forestry sector. Arkansas’ forests cover 18.9 million acres, or 56 percent of the state, and have more than 1.2 billion tons of standing timber. Thank you to the great work by Bradley and Drew counties on intermodal freight transportation and the Arkansas Department of Commerce and the Arkansas Economic Development Commission for their work on attracting businesses. We will continue working in partnership with our foresters to expand this very crucial industry of the Natural State.”

The Oregon Manufacturing Extension Partnership (OMEP) received an award of $1.8 million to bolster Oregon manufacturers. This funding will provide public-private partnerships to small and medium sized manufacturers across the state. “If we don’t make things in America, we won’t have a middle class in America, and when Oregon’s manufacturing industry does well, all Oregonians benefit,” said U.S. Sen. Jeff Merkley. “This funding gives the Oregon Manufacturing Extension Partnership the support it needs to provide local manufacturers with opportunities to grow and be competitive in the global marketplace.” U.S. Sen. Ron Wyden said, “The manufacturing that generates good-paying jobs throughout Oregon doesn’t happen by osmosis; it requires smart and targeted investments just like this. I’m gratified the Oregon Manufacturing Extension Partnership has earned these federal resources, and I’ll keep teaming up with our state’s manufacturers to secure the investments they need to thrive.” #MEPNationalNetwork https://lnkd.in/dyNg-cEp
