LITTLE ROCK — American Spirit Wear/Perry Productions announced plans Tuesday to open a production and manufacturing facility in Booneville.

The factory will produce jackets and employ about 30 people, the company said, adding that the jobs are being relocated from Missouri.

“We are very appreciative that American Spirit Wear had enough confidence in Booneville and south Logan County to move their company here,” Booneville Mayor Jerry Wilkins in a news release. “This community works well together. “We are always here to support new businesses.”

ASW sells more than 2,000 items and has about 6,000 customers, the company said.
