Booneville is proud to be a part of the Arkansas
Community of Excellence (ACE)
program.
The ACE program was developed by the
Arkansas
Department of Economic Development
to help communities prepare themselves for economic growth. By
achieving the ACE certification, a community is recognized as
being a prime area for potential economic development. The ACE
designation indicates to prospects that the community has what
it takes to be a future industry location. Gaining ACE
certification requires ambition, organization, and teamwork.
Each certified community must meet the following requirements:
 |
Have an active, focused, single authority
in charge of economic development. |
|
Implement a program that keeps the
community in touch with established industry and responsive
to its needs. |
|
Fulfill specific acreage and
infrastructure requirements in order to satisfy the wants
and needs of new industry. |
|
Develop comprehensive information about
the community and have a plan for quick and effective
response to prospect inquiries. |
|
Develop a three-year economic development
plan and a one-year action plan. |
Once recognized as an ACE community, a city
is fully prepared to take a pro-active approach to economic
development and the recruitment of jobs. Equally, the
community will improve its relationship with existing industry
and realize an improved quality of life and opportunity for
the community, its businesses, and its people.
These goals for the ACE communities in
Arkansas are already a part of the Mission and Vision of the
Booneville Development Corporation. |
