Location

Growing and built for success, the Blytheville-Gosnell industrial scene is in a near-perfect location.

The riverfront industrial area, featuring access to the Mississippi River; the Blytheville Industrial Park, located just off Interstate 55; and the Arkansas Aeroplex, developed on the grounds of the former Eaker Air Force Base all offer attractive locales for continued industrial growth in the area. Manufacturers choose the area because of an impressive list of amenities. Most important is the highly strategic location—Blytheville is within 500 miles of 40 percent of U.S. buying power and is at the center point between Canada and Mexico. Its ideal proximity from Memphis (just over an hour by car) allows residents and businesses to benefit from all that a large city has to offer without having to deal with the daily frustrations of city life. And cities such as St. Louis (200 miles away) and Little Rock (189 miles away) are easily managed day trips.
