LITTLE ROCK — Gov. Asa Hutchinson said Tuesday he will travel to Europe this month on a business recruitment mission.
The governor told reporters at the state Capitol he will leave Saturday and travel first to England to attend the Farnborough International Airshow. As it has for the past 10 years, Arkansas will have a booth at the show, where about 50 countries will be represented.
"The consistency in these presentations and in these markets probably makes the biggest difference, and so we're going to be attending the air show in Farnborough that will have 84 of the top 100 aerospace companies across the globe," Hutchinson said.
The governor also attended the show last year, his first year in office. He said Tuesday that Arkansas' presence at that show led to Aerojet Rocketdyne deciding to invest $18 million in an expansion involving the creation of 85 new jobs in Camden.
