I am grateful we had Graham Cobb, President & CEO of the Greater Bentonville Area Chamber to address the topic of placemaking. Bentonville has done an incredible job making their community attractive to new businesses, residents, as well as visitors.
As we know, economic development is multifaceted and the draw for an individual or a business to make a move needs to be very compelling. Bentonville hits on every level to make their argument.
In our discussion, Graham talks about the many things that make Bentonville great. He talks about the museums, the arts, their ties with Walmart, and how they became the mountain bike capital of the world. Just as important as each of these highlights, is the accessibility for everyone to use these great features.
If you would like to connect with Graham about anything he discussed in this episode or to continue this discussion offline, you can see his contact information below:
