On this week’s episode, President of Paceline Strategies and former President and CEO of the Bentonville Area Chamber of Commerce, Graham Cobb, joins Rex to discuss the economic developments and cultural shifts impacting Northwest and Central Arkansas.
The pair begin their conversation by highlighting Northwest Arkansas's economic boom, driven by initiatives from entities like Tyson Foods and Walmart, alongside significant investments in infrastructure and healthcare, such as Crystal Bridges and the Alice Walton Medical School.
Graham, who now lives in Bentonville but is originally from Little Rock, also talks about Central Arkansas' recent surge in logistics and distribution jobs, notably with Amazon establishing a regional hub in Little Rock.
Both Rex and Graham emphasize the importance of leveraging Arkansas's strengths and fostering civic engagement statewide to sustain growth and attract further investments.
