INVEST IN
Port Expansion & Economic Development
A "FOR" vote for the sales tax is a vital investment in the economic future of Little Rock, particularly through the development of the Port of Little Rock.
This funding will create new jobs, attract major industries, and boost the local economy by turning the port into a hub for business growth and innovation. By expanding and modernizing the port, we can increase our city's competitive edge, bringing in new investments and opportunities that benefit workers, families, and businesses.
​
Approximately $50 million will go toward economic development and downtown revitalization, continuing the success that has already returned more than 26 times our initial investment in jobs growth and economic opportunities. Voting "FOR" ensures a thriving, forward-looking Little Rock for generations to come.

Vote “FOR” Twice for Little Rock’s future—because a penny today funds progress for tomorrow.
BRINGING MORE JOB OPPORTUNITIES
​​​
In the past five years, the City has invested $30M into economic development at the Port of Little Rock, resulting in an $831M RETURN—REAL Results For The Rock. With just a penny investment, we can continue to build on this momentum with:
-
$22M to an economic development impact fund to help attract new jobs through incentives and infrastructure improvements, including further progress on a “super site” at the Little Rock Port.
-
$8M to support expansion at the Port, in the form of land acquisition, as companies continue to choose Little Rock for their operations.
