An exceptional location and tremendous access perfectly positions this former military base property to offer opportunity for new start companies or those looking to expand or relocate. Forecasts of strong economic growth for the region are largely due in part to the strategic location of the Texarkana/New Boston area.
Situated on Hwy. 82 and only 1/4 mile off Interstate 30 and 17 miles west of Texarkana with it's regional airport, the site is proving to be of great interest to those companies seeking a somewhat rural environment while maintaining the conveniences of nearby big city services. Dallas and Little Rock are both within a manageable driving distance. Nearby Oklahoma and Louisiana create a unique four-states crossroads positioning. All Texas routes identified as NAFTA corridors pass through the Texarkana area, which is considered the geographic center of North America, and offer a primary route from Canada to Mexico.
Labor force requirements can be met from the draw of both skilled and unskilled labor within a 35-mile radius of the Texarkana and New Boston area. Population figures from 2000 show Bowie County at 89,306 and Miller County at 40,443. The 129,700 total is a good size employee base for many potential employers. In addition, local businesses and education systems work together to identify skills and training that need to be emphasized in the school system. Employee training assistance programs may also be available to new companies.
