Saline County 'mega-site' unveiled

A 2,000 acre piece of Saline County was touted yesterday as the largest certified parcel in the state that can become home to new industry. The site is along the west side of Interstate 530, 15 minutes from downtown Little Rock, the airport/riverport, and rail lines. A big employer could also draw workers from Pine Bluff, Hot Springs, and Malvern. Sen. Shane Broadway says the area won't have air quality worries. The story was picked up by the Associated Press, and it has since gone national.
