Marion Area Economic Development Goes Live With a New Site to Power Economic Development

MARION, AR — City of Marion Economic Development has announced the launch of a new website built from the ground up to provide a central resource where site selectors, developers, and investors can find reliable information about building or growing their business in the community. Created in collaboration with Golden Shovel Agency, the leading marketing and communications partner dedicated exclusively to economic development, the new site will enhance Marion’s ability to attract retail, restaurants, advanced manufacturing and other industries that create jobs and contribute to the quality of life for residents.  
The new site was custom designed to make it easy for visitors to find information about available properties, workforce, demographics, and the location advantages that make Marion an attractive option for business investment. The site offers developers and business leaders a clear vision of what the city has to offer without requiring them to search multiple sources. 
 

“Marion is a prepared, business-friendly community, and this website conveys that message by showcasing our strategic planning, infrastructure investment, and access to major transportation routes alongside reliable information about the opportunities available here,” said Beth Wilson, Marion’s Director of Economic Development. “The site allows us to direct prospects to a single location to review community data, explore available sites, and connect with our economic development office.” 
 

Golden Shovel Agency worked with Marion Economic Development to understand the organization’s needs and create a website that amplifies its strengths while accentuating the abundant benefits of building a business in the region. The new site gives Marion a professional, accessible online presence that supports the city’s marketing and recruitment efforts. 
 

“Golden Shovel Agency understands economic development and the need for a website that addresses site selectors, developers, and business decision-makers,” Wilson said. “They listened to our goals, organized our information, and guided us through the process with an attention to detail that resulted in a valuable tool we can use as our community grows.”
