Howard County combines small-town accessibility with industrial strength. Centered around Nashville, it connects to I-30, I-40, and I-49 through U.S. Highways 70, 278, and 371, linking directly to major markets in Dallas, Little Rock, and Shreveport.
Rooted in timber, poultry, and manufacturing, the economy continues to diversify through investment in infrastructure, workforce training, and business development. Development-ready sites such as the Nashville Industrial Park, Dierks Industrial Area, and U.S. 278 Commercial Corridor provide utilities, highway access, and room for growth.
With affordable land, reliable utilities, and strong regional partnerships through UA Cossatot and AEDC, Howard County delivers a clear advantage for new and expanding industries. It’s a community ready to build, grow, and lead in Southwest Arkansas.
