Columbia County blends small-town accessibility with industrial strength. Anchored by Magnolia, it connects to I-30, I-49, and I-20 through U.S. Highways 79, 82, and 371 — linking directly to major markets in Dallas, Little Rock, and Shreveport.
Built on generations of investment in timber, paper, and manufacturing, the county combines modern utilities with a skilled workforce ready for growth. Development-ready sites like the Magnolia Industrial Park and Highway 82 Corridor provide the infrastructure and flexibility businesses need to expand.
With rail access, low costs, and strong partnerships through Southern Arkansas University and SAU Tech, Columbia County offers reliability and collaboration. It’s a community built to grow, connect, and lead in Southwest Arkansas.
