Green Forest, the agricultural mecca of Carroll County, is home to the North Arkansas Livestock Auction, various feed mills, farm suppliers, an egg processing facility, and a sprawling new Tyson Foods cooked chicken plant. To attract even more industry, Mayor Charlie Reece is giving the faded historic town center a major makeover.
Correction: This story originally stated that a $75,000 grant was given to the city from Tyson Foods. The grant was actually given to the city by Governor Asa Hutchinson's office.
