Clayton Homes, a leading national builder of single-family manufactured homes, recently cut the ribbon on a new home building facility in Conway.
Clayton is investing $42 million in modernizing an existing 220,000-square-foot facility. The Conway plant marks the Tennessee-based company’s 41st facility, and the first new facility opened since 2016.
“The Conway home building facility represents our vision to develop housing innovations that improve lives and build a better tomorrow,” said Colt Davis, president of Clayton Manufacturing. “The thousands of homes built here each year will help bring attainable homeownership within reach for families across the region. We are incredibly grateful for the people of Conway welcoming us and for local and state leaders supporting the development of our newest home building facility.”
The indoor, air‑conditioned facility, which protects homes from seasonal weather conditions, is expected to build 3,000 homes each year and create more than 250 new jobs in the region.
“Arkansas was recently ranked the No. 1 state for inbound movers for the second year in a row, and companies like Clayton are ensuring that some of these new Arkansas residents not only have an affordable place to live but also a great place to work,” said Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders, who toured the facility. “We are incredibly grateful that they chose Conway for their new manufacturing facility, and we are looking forward to the jobs and opportunity this will bring to Central Arkansas and beyond in the years ahead.”
