The Poultry Federation to build new Little Rock office
New building plans for the Little Rock office of The Poultry Federation were announced by Marvin Childers, president, on behalf of the association’s board of directors. Plans are underway to raze the current structure, located at 321 South Victory, and replace it with a new single story structure on the same site. A gift of $1million has been received from Tyson Foods, Inc. to initiate the capital campaign.
“The gift from Tyson Foods will be used to begin the footprint of the Poultry Federation building,” stated Donnie Smith, Tyson Food’s CEO. “This gift stems from a commitment Don Tyson made in 2010. Don was always a firm supporter of The Poultry Federation and its mission. He had a vision of a new building using the same location. Tyson Foods is happy to be in a position where we can initiate the campaign for a new building.”
