This commercial tract, totaling 5.05 acres, is located just off Highway 49 North along the popular Bridger Road. It is adjacent to the eastern edge of the $400MM NEA Baptist Health System, Arkansas' largest medical project within the last decade, and sits just west of the Ridgecrest Development, the second largest master-planned project in the dynamic Highway 49 North area of Jonesboro.
Located along Interstate 555, Jonesboro is the retail epicenter of Northeast Arkansas. Despite negative trends oof other marketplaces, Jonesboro is one of the only 26 cities in the 363 metropolitan statistical areas in the U.S. that has not only recovered jobs lost from the economy's recent downfall but has added to them!
Jonesboro continues to be the primary bastion of growth and investment. Serving a trade area of over 500,000 people in almost twenty-four counties in Arkansas, Missouri, and Tennessee, Jonesboro has steadily grown over 40% in size since 1990 and is estimated to maintain that same or greater level of growth over the next 20 years. With a 363,689 primary trade area population, Jonesboro clearly serves more than its 68,000 residents.
Jonesboro is also the home of the Arkansas State University Red Wolves, which is one of the fastest growing universities in Arkansas and becoming one of the Mid-South's top institutions.
NEA Baptist is getting settled into their $400 million dollar health care facility, the largest health care investment in Arkansas in the last decade.
