The Arkansas Department of Corrections issued a public notice for submissions Friday for communities interested in donating land for the construction of a new maximum-security prison facility that will house 1,000 inmates.
Completed questionnaires must be received by the Department of Corrections no later than February 9, and proposals will be evaluated by the Department of Corrections and submitted to the Arkansas Board of Corrections for selection. Department of Corrections spokeswoman Cindy Murphy said Friday it was too early to say when a selection might be made.
The new facility is expected to benefit the local economy significantly by bringing in 370 employees with an annual payroll of approximately $21,000,000.
