Growing together Our Partnership Is Returning on Investment

Our partnership is mutually beneficial and is returning on your investment. We have invested over $3.2 million into our local economy since 2010 and welcomed over 260,000 visitors. According to the Arkansas Department of Parks, Tourism & Heritage, these visitors have generated a $26 million economic impact for our city and county, growing sales tax revenue as well. The Calico Rock Community Foundation serves our local business community through the Main Street Calico Rock program. We welcome and share our story with visitors at the Calico Rock Museum & Visitor Center.

We are growing together. Thank you for your support and the opportunity to partner with you!
