Benton Business and Industry

Location, Location, Location ...

Benton’s location provides an ideal business environment. In close proximity to Little Rock and major transportation opportunities, Benton’s strong base is in position to swell into the future.

As part of Saline County, the city has many perks available to them. Services offered through the Arkansas Department of Economic Development in finance, marketing, training and productivity, and advocacy are some of the ways this department helps businesses reach their potential.

Also, the county is designated by the state as an Enterprise Zone, making sales and use taxes on equipment and material used in expansion and new construction refundable.

Best of all, compared to neighboring Pulaski County, Saline’s tax base is a good deal lower. Benton’s affordable price tags on housing, goods and services, and energy also give current and potential business owners less to worry about when considering setting up shop.

New or relocating industrial businesses have a vast amount of land and development sites on which to start or resume business. Many established industries such as industrial ceramics, pollution control systems, steel fabrication, veneer, gravel, asphalt, and others already enjoy all Benton has to offer — great location, endless land and low costs.

Major retailers and hometown shops enjoy Benton’s prospering retail climate. Big names like The Home Depot, Sears, Wal-Mart, Hallmark, J.C. Penney, and Office Depot add to the city’s growth.

While many establishments call Benton home, there is always room for more. Plenty of new and renovated office space is available for those in need.

Benton’s industries, major businesses and retailers are chief contributors to the local and county economies.

Benton’s businesses are on the fast track to success, providing a dependable and inviting place for those who would like to join the ranks.
