Congressman Steve Womack released the following statement regarding Whirlpool’s decision to shut down its Fort Smith plant:

    “I am disappointed with Whirlpool’s announcement, and my heart goes out to the employees and their families.  Despite the news, I consider the Fort Smith region one of America’s most attractive areas for economic development. It is ideally situated with incredible infrastructure and a quality of life second to none in the country.  With a qualified workforce and the supporting institutions, I am confident we’ll find another corporate partner who believes in Fort Smith and the enormous opportunities it offers.”
