Earlier tonight a friend asked me what I thought needed to happen in Arkansas. Here is what I told him. Make Little Rock a “foodie town” attracting the most talented chefs and entrepreneurs in the country creating jobs and tourism and building upon the foundations of the ones...
already blazing that trial. A delta region along Highway 1 and elsewhere with distilleries, breweries, bbq dives, music venues and local nice hotels providing true southern experiences. Growing crops not only for broad global uses but also for direct farm-to-table using our...
proximity to FedEx to our advantage. Gravel roads. Trucks. Fires. Music venues. Cold Miller Lites. You get the drift. Continuing the great expansion of Northwest Arkansas. Connecting the trails and experiences from Bentonville to Jonesboro to Marianna to Arkansas City to ....
Little Rock with cool places to stay, drink, and eat along the way. Floating the White River or catching fish or harvesting caviar (yes that’s a thing) with local tour guides and having lunch and coffee at a local cafe in Des Arc or De Valls Bluff.
Selling Arkansas by connecting us all in this manner and working together. Factories in Marianna or Helena, Forrest City or Wynne producing and manufacturing goods and products sold globally out of Bentonville.
Maximizing the use of our great natural resources, cotton, corn, rice, water, soybeans and more. Declaring Arkansas as the cycling capital of the U.S. by 2030. Charging the Arkansas Highway Commission to work with the Arkansas Department of Parks, Heritage and Tourism to make ...
that declaration a reality creating pockets of new developments all across Arkansas. Establishing significant incentives for the redevelopment of the Arkansas delta with something akin to historical district tax credits incentives for renovations of quality homes in the entire..
delta. Provide extra funds for poor delta school districts with full and complete expansion of broadband across the entire state.
Yes, a Friday after Thanksgiving game held in Little Rock every year with the Razorbacks playing the Red Wolves. At this point don’t we all recognize this is a good thing for everyone involved?
National sales promotion of Greers Ferry Lake and Lake Hamilton and all other lakes and rivers across the state. The creation of district councils working together towards these goals. Working together to achieve the greatest quality of life standards in the country.
Over the next decade we could very well see the greatest migration of Americans in modern history. It’s our time. “Nothing happens until something is sold.” Remember that quote. We have to start working together and start selling what we have.
That’s why our kids will want to stay here and/or move back here. Not because a tax rate is 6% or 5% or 4%. It’s a balance. Quality of life matters. Arguably it matters the most. We have it but don’t know it. Time to start selling. Arkansas can win.
