Early Census data from the 2010 count shows the nation's population trending south and west....which makes Bryant, Arkansas an even more perfect spot for businesses to relocate. Our location on I-30 and our proximity to I-40 makes major sense. We are literally in the middle of the nation.
Bryant was named the second fastest growing city in Arkansas last year by The Gadberry Group, a Little Rock-based demographic research firm. http://www.facebook.com/note.php?note_id=362716258442
Why? The one word answer is “Opportunity”. The City of Bryant is located just 10 miles southwest of Little Rock. Bryant offers businesses geographical advantages with attractive business opportunities that include an excellent transportation infrastructure, access to a growing workforce population with a great quality of life, and a low cost of doing business.

The longer answer involves a low crime rate, great schools, increasing jobs, and a stable economy. This “small town” sits in the middle of large metropolitan areas – Little Rock and Hot Springs. The combined “small town” appeal with urban amenities nearby creates a synergy for businesses looking to relocate or expand. In 2009, CNN's Money Magazine named Bryant one of it's Top 100 Small towns In America. http://money.cnn.com/magazines/moneymag/bplive/2009/snapshots/PL0509460.html
And in 2010, BusinessWeek named Bryant one of the most affordable suburbs in America. http://images.businessweek.com/ss/10/03/0302_affordable_suburbs/5.htm
