Windstream to keep headquarters in Arkansas

Newton Independent

Windstream Corp., said Tuesday that it plans to keep its headquarters in Little Rock, Ark., and add 200 jobs in the area over the next few years.

The telecommunications firm, which recently acquired Iowa Telecom, will receive $5.5 million in state cash incentives to bring the new jobs to Arkansas.

Windstream, which plans to continue its strategy of acquiring companies, was formed in 2006 as a spinoff of Alltel's wireline business and merger with Texas-based Valor Communications Group.
