A corporate reorganization involving APAC-Arkansas Inc. and APAC-Oklahoma Inc. became effective December 26, 2009. APAC-Arkansas also operates under the names of Arkhola Sand & Gravel and McClinton-Anchor Companies. These longtime material supply and construction service providers are part of the Oldcastle Materials Group which is headquartered in Atlanta, GA. Under the merger, APAC-Oklahoma and APAC-Arkansas merged to form a single corporation called APAC-Central Inc. The merger resulted in a consolidation of most of the administration and accounting functions into the new Fayetteville headquarters. All McClinton-Anchor personnel have also been relocated to the new headquarters.

Fayetteville-based SFC Fluidics is awarded a $5 million federal contract in September to continue to work on the development of a handheld device that would make possible on-site disgnosis of traumatic brain injury within minutes of head trauma. Such a device will not only be applicable on batterfields or ball fields, but emergency rooms, too. All the first responders need to do is to use only a pin prick sample of blood. The device can use the sample to conduct rapid, detailed blood analysis within a single sealed disposable chip. Quantitative levels of specific biomarkers released by the brain when injured will be displayed on an easy-to-read screen, along with an indicator alerting the operator to the degree of injury which could be none, mild, moderate or severe.

According to the SFC press release, more than 1.5 million Americans suffer from head injuries each year. SFC's device is scheduled to begin clinical trials for FDA approval in the summer of 2013.
