Republican Gubernatorial nominee and former state Senator Jim Keet would like to congratulate Fort Smith for being named the most affordable city for livability in a study done by Kiplinger.

“Fort Smith and all Arkansans should be proud of this ranking,” said Keet. “Fort Smith has done a great job keeping the cost of living down while maintaining a high quality of life for its citizens. As Governor I plan on doing everything possible to make sure Fort Smith retains its ranking while creating even more economic vitality,” said Keet.
