"Middle Eastern" town continues construction in Arkansas

It will look like any town in Iraq or Afghanistan, but construction crews are building it in the Mid-South: a Middle Eastern town, being built right across the river in Arkansas.
For more than a decade an international company called The Olive Group has offered military style training at a Crawfordsville, Arkansas soybean field.
Now officials have started a massive expansion that will turn a large part of the field into a city that models those in the Middle East. It will be a city similar to the kind U.S. troops fight in every day.
Officials say the mock city will feature everything from Arabic signage, to actors who will play the roles of people living in the Middle East.
They hope that more military trainers and security companies send their employees here as they prepare to go to war torn areas.
The expansion project will cost around 12 million dollars and construction officials hope to have a major portion completed by the end of this summer.
