EEDB hears update from poultry group

Mayor: City has come under criticism regarding parking spaces for conference center

The El Dorado Economic Development Board heard Tuesday from a group of poultry growers about an effort to help their business rebound in El Dorado and South Arkansas, and Mayor Mike Dumas discussed issues with the multipurpose conference center construction project. Representatives from the Southern Poultry Farmers Association, a co-op made up of about 30 members, said the effort to get the cooperative off its feet is just getting under way, and the SPFA is relying heavily on the help of federal, state and local government. The poultry industry in South Arkansas took a hit in 2008 and 2009 when Pilgrim’s Pride shuttered its operations in El Dorado as part of a company downsizing strategy. Pilgrim’s filed for bankruptcy in December 2008.
