Cabot AR

Little Rock anymore for services they can now get at home, as the Mayor points out. Becoming a one-stop shop for all the needs of his fellow townsfolk is a source of much understandable pride for Kincade. Cultivating important partnerships is also key to Cabot’s success. Kincade cites one such example as that with the nearby Little Rock Air Force Base, as 40 percent of the airmen and women reside in Cabot. Another is the collaboration between the City of Cabot and Unity Health, Cabot’s local hospital. The hospital just recently purchased 63 acres. The City worked with the hospital on a federal- level economic development grant of just under $2 million for developing the infrastructure of that site. It means bringing in more than 750 jobs to Cabot residents. The hospital is going to require all of its staffers to live within the Cabot city limits, as the Mayor pointed out. “It’s a win-win for all of us,” he adds. Kincade continues that Cabot is the third-safest city in the state of Arkansas. The city’s future, the Mayor opines, is a bright one indeed. “I think Cabot is going to be the main place in central Arkansas,” he says, “where people want to call home.” PREFERRED VENDOR/PARTNER n Connect 2 First Internet, LLC. www.connect2first.net Connect2First, a wholly-owned subsidiary of First Electric Cooperative Corporation is building a 7,500-mile high-speed fiber-optic network servicing 18 unserved or underserved counties in central and southeast Arkansas.
