Electric Vehicle Company Moving From California to Arkansas With Over 500 Jobs

Another business is moving out of California and this one is moving to Arkansas. The electric vehicle company Canoo has decided to make the big move and bring its operation to Arkansas.

The company is moving its operation to Northeast Arkansas, specifically to Bentonville, Arkansas yes the same home to Walmart. Could there be something to that? Will they be working together? We will have to wait and see. But it looks like great news for Arkansas.

Canoo announced earlier this year that it would build a manufacturing facility in Pryor, Oklahoma.

Canoo says Monday’s announcement is part of a plan to make the U.S. 412 corridor from Oklahoma to Arkansas “a center of electric vehicle research, development and manufacturing power.”
