Land in Northwest Arkansas - New Green Valley?

Earlier this month, there was a forum at the Arkansas World Trade Center in Rogers. The group gathered was a commentary for the positive growth, job creation and economic prosperity for the past several years and where it will lead.

Wal-Mart, over 1300 suppliers, Tyson’s, JB Hunt, XNA Airport, new shopping centers, the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, and Arvest ballpark, and the University of Arkansas are just some of the region’s highlights.

Kathy Deck, an economist at the Sam M. Walton College of Business posed the question “What’s going to fuel the next boom?”, as she cited that the area has gone through three waves of changes thus far. The first wave was associated with the growth of the large companies – Wal-Mart, Tyson’s and JB Hunt. The second wave was supply chains for the first wave companies. The third wave was composed of companies providing amenities to the first two waves

Currently, there is pressure to make NWA a “green valley” where sustainability research is a point of action, noting that it has already started to come together
much like in Sweden, the worldwide leader in economic development. In fact, there is now an Applied Sustainability Center at the University of Arkansas’ Fayetteville campus that was funded from a $1.5 million grant from Wal-Mart. Many have made comparisons between with Silicon Valley in the 1960s, as Swedish companies like StoraEnso and INEOS Bio have construced facilities in Fayetteville.
