CONWAY, Ark. (AP) -- The new Hewlett-Packard plant is opening in Conway.

The 150,000 square foot facility is opening Monday after workers spent nearly the past year in temporary space in Little Rock.

HP announced the move to Conway in June 2008 and said nearly 2,000 workers would be hired. The company is still looking to hire about 1,000 employees at salaries starting just above $40,000 a year.
