Growing together Our Partnership Is Returning on Investment
Our community’s investment in downtown is paying dividends. We have invested over $3.2 million into our local economy since 2010 and welcomed nearly 280,000 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. And, over 2,000,000 Facebook users have interacted with our content! We welcome visitors from every state and countries around the world.
We are growing together. Thank you for your support and the opportunity to partner with you!
