I want to welcome you to our website!  I am anxious to share some information about our area.  In Cleburne County we are blessed with the natural beauty of the Ozark foothills, scenic vistas, the sparkling clear 40,000 acre Greers Ferry Lake, the beautiful Little Red River trout stream and two Sugarloaf mountains.  With all of that said, our best asset is our people.  In Cleburne County you will find a wonderful blend of families who have lived here for generations, and families who have chosen to adopt the area as their home.   Our county seat is Heber Springs with a thriving, historic downtown.  Heber Springs has been named Arkansas Volunteer Community of the Year for many years, which gives you an idea of the character of Cleburne County citizens. The Cleburne County Office of Economic Development opened on Main Street Heber Springs April 12, 2007.  The CCOED serves as the lead economic development contact in Cleburne County, and the primary source of information regarding the pro-business environment you will find throughout the county.  In the short time this office has been open, it is exciting how much activity has taken place.  Cleburne County is on the brink of great growth and development, and many people are dedicated to insuring that growth happens in a healthy and prosperous fashion.

I am committed to working closely with our existing businesses and industries, as well as those contemplating new investment and/or relocation in Cleburne County. Please take time to browse this website.  You will see that the Cleburne County Courthouse is located just 65 miles North of Little Rock and 130 miles West of Memphis.  You will be impressed with the academic opportunities we have to offer, with our excellent public school system and ASU-Heber Springs which we believe is one of the most beautiful university campus' - rivaled by few .  We are also excited about our brand new Baptist Health Medical Center - Heber Springs, which proudly serves the health needs of Cleburne County.

One of the most exciting events in 2010 was the opening of the Heber Springs Community and Aquatics Center.  This facility gives the community a venue to host large groups such as trade shows and conventions.  The Community Center also enhances the quality of life for Cleburne County residents by providing a variety of activities including racketball and a theraputic pool.
