Arkansas Plan At Eight Year Milestone In Industrial Growth
The Arkansas Plan has boosted state revenues as industrialization spread since 1943. The Arkansas Industrial Development Commission glamorized the program, adding jobs yearly and driving postwar expansion. The plan emerged from a 32-member business leader meeting and led to the Arkansas Economic Council to promote development and unity across communities. In 1945 legislators were urged to create a coordinating state agency. A separate report notes a Massachusets Air National Guard crash near Stony Creek and a pilot Lavallee, 29, of Springfield, Mass., who survived an Atlantic eject.
