It has been announced that Bentonville Mayor Mob McCaslin is proposing a $100,000 partnership between the Bentonville/Bella Vista Chamber of Commerce and the city.
The partnership would initiate the chamber as Bentonville’s “economic development marketing arm”. The mayor is pushing the initiative due to the fact that “The City of Bentonville has lagged behind the three other ‘large’ cities in Northwest Arkansas in retail and commercial development”, according to an email from McCaslin.
The contract is slated for proposal to the Bentonville City Council in December. If approved, Bentonville will be advertised as an “excellent location for new retail and commercial development investments”. Click here to read the article in its entirety.
