Supporting Economic Development in Benton County

Since 2016, Benton Economic Partnership, together with our member investors, has built a solid foundation for economic development within our county. The Benton Economic Partnership has collaborated with numerous partners to support business expansion efforts. We are a membership-driven organization by design.

The economic development projects that Benton Economic Partnership, Inc. worked on over the past four years leveraged over $3.8 million in public (state and local) incentives, resulting in more than $100 million in private capital investment in the county. These projects resulted in the retention of 547 jobs and the creation of 185 new FT jobs at an average wage of $27.37 per hour.

Additionally, Benton Economic Partnership, Inc. has worked diligently to secure over $5.5 million in grants and external funding for the county over the past four years.
