Вест-Мемфис рассматривается как место для строительства нового завода Daimler Truck

WEST MEMPHIS, Ark. — Daimler Truck North America plans to build a huge new factory this year, and the state of Arkansas is touting West Memphis as a good fit for the plant. Arkansas Economic Development Corporation Director Clint O’Neal said West Memphis is still in the running to land a yet unnamed large manufacturer, but speculation is that the company is Daimler, following the company’s announcement last week that it is evaluating multiple locations for a factory. West Memphis has a 1,300-acre industrial megasite, which is the largest such site in Arkansas. While not sharing the type of facility, O’Neal has confirmed that the commission is in negotiations and that the West Memphis site is being considered for the as-yet unnamed company.
