Mississippi County’s Cotton Revival | Little Rock News

Mississippi County, Arkansas, is betting big on cotton by launching a bold new yarn-to-towel factory project—aiming to revive its historic cotton legacy with 2,100 to 2,300 jobs and transform local farms into a thriving textile hub. Starting with a pioneering spinning mill (Arkansas’s first), the plan ships yarn to Bangladesh for towel manufacturing, then builds a full-scale textile mill on-site to handle everything in-house. Major retailers like Walmart are already showing interest, drawn by potential quality and cost advantages. With national cotton yields falling and farm costs rising, this initiative could be the key to turning agriculture into a sustainable, high-value industry—and reignite the region’s industrial spirit.
