ONGOING | Regional governance and active public realms in Northwest Arkansas

Northwest Arkansas is undergoing unprecedented change, stimulated in large part by philanthropic investments. As downtowns and districts across the region are greeting demographic change with enhancements to the public realm, transit, amenities, housing, and arts, intergovernmental collaboration is key to long-term sustainability.

Throughout 2021 and 2022, I am working with the Walton Family Foundation, its intermediaries, and a group of local governments to encourage knowledge-sharing and development strategy alignment.
