The Little Rock Port Authority board of directors approved three resolutions Wednesday that could add nearly 1,000 acres to the port’s land mass.
One resolution would enter into a contract with Southport Properties, LLC and members of the Thomas family and trust to purchase roughly 640 acres of land south of the port’s current footprint.
The 640-acre tract will undergo due diligence for environmental surveys, archeological scrutiny and title research over the next 90 days. The purchase price for the property is roughly $8.2 million.
A smaller two-acre tract was in the middle of the 640 acres and owned by a different seller. It sold to the port for $225,000.
