Here s the thing I love about brothers Steuart and Tom Walton, grandsons of Walmart founders Sam and Helen Walton: They could live anywhere in the world and do anything they want to do. Their entire focus, however, is on improving life in Arkansas. And that s something for residents of a small state to celebrate.
Just when you thought the economy couldn t possibly get any hotter in northwest Arkansas, news came down last month that Tyson Foods plans to consolidate corporate operations at Springdale. The company will bring almost 1,000 additional white-collar jobs to a campus that already has 2,000 workers.
