WHY FORT SMITH, ARKANSAS?

Fort Smith sits at the edge of the Ouachita National Forest in the beautiful Arkansas River Valley — and it offers something most metro markets can't: a low cost of living (median home prices under $200K), a tight-knit, family-oriented community, and immediate access to incredible outdoor recreation. Hiking, fishing, hunting, lake life, and national forest are minutes from your door.

The area has top-rated schools, a revitalized downtown, growing healthcare and aerospace sectors, and a quality of life that lets your income go further than it ever could in a major metro. Drive an hour and you're in Fayetteville/NWA; two hours to Tulsa; three hours to Oklahoma City, Little Rock, or Branson. Relocation assistance is available for candidates moving from out of state.
