Provalus Plans Harrison, Arkansas, Operations

11/13/2025
Information technology company Provalus plans to establish operations in Harrison, Arkansas. The approximately $1 million project is expected to create 150 jobs over five years.

“The support we’ve received from the city of Harrison and leaders across Arkansas has been nothing short of extraordinary,” said Will Ruzic, vice president of facilities for Provalus. “From day one, this community understood the heart of the Provalus mission, to create opportunity and drive sustainable progress in rural America. This site is a direct result of what can happen when local, state and corporate partners come together around a shared goal. We’re grateful for their collaboration and proud to stand alongside them as we bring new jobs, skills and growth to the region.”

Provalus provides customized solutions in areas such as cybersecurity, network operations, quality assurance, and data analytics.

“Rural Arkansas communities provide all the elements for business success – leading to Provalus’ new investment in Harrison, which is creating new jobs in the area,” noted Clint O’Neal, executive director of the Arkansas Economic Development Commission (AEDC). “After committing to Walnut Ridge, Provalus has doubled down on Arkansas and decided to site a new location in Harrison. This is a testament to the strength of our rural communities and the workforce in both Walnut Ridge and Harrison. We congratulate the City of Harrison and its leadership on attracting this new investment from Provalus.”

"After nine months of hard work on this project, it is exciting to finally announce that we have a signed contract with Provalus,” said Jeff Nielsen, Harrison Regional Chamber of Commerce president and CEO. “Congratulations to everyone who played a role in bringing this company to Harrison. I especially want to recognize Mayor Jackson and his team at the city for all of their hard work. Provalus' impact upon Harrison will be substantial, and their location in the Historical Courthouse Square will create a renaissance spurring new development in the downtown area. This is an exciting time for Harrison and Boone County, and I can't wait to see them open their doors.”
