IT firm Provalus announced Wednesday that it will be adding a new location in Harrison.
It recently announced a new location in Walnut Ridge as well. The company is investing $1 million in the Harrison site, which is expected to spawn 150 new jobs over five years. The Walnut Ridge location is expected to create up to 200 jobs.
Provalus currently has nine locations spread across the South with four more including the two Arkansas sites opening soon. The company is siting its Harrison facility in an existing building downtown, located at 101 N. Main Street (shown in feature image).
“Every Provalus site reflects our belief that great careers and great communities can grow together,” said Provalus President Mike Keogh. “Harrison, Arkansas, is no exception. By creating high-value technology careers in Boone County, we’re giving individuals the chance to build their futures without having to leave their hometowns. It’s about investing in people and helping small towns thrive again, and we’re honored to continue building that momentum here in Arkansas.”
Founded in 2017, Provalus is a U.S.-based outsourcing company that delivers technology, business, and support services to Fortune-listed clients. The company is focused on creating opportunities in rural regions. Harrison will be its 13th location.
“Rural Arkansas communities provide all the elements for business success — leading to Provalus’ new investment in Harrison, which is creating new jobs in the area,” said Clint O’Neal, executive director of the Arkansas Economic Development Commission. “After committing to Walnut Ridge, Provalus has doubled down on Arkansas and decided to site a new location in Harrison. This is a testament to the strength of our rural communities and the workforce in both Walnut Ridge and Harrison. We congratulate the City of Harrison and its leadership on attracting this new investment from Provalus.”
