It’s easy to point out what’s wrong with our towns. Empty storefronts, fewer places to shop, and families moving away.

The harder question is, what are we doing to help?

Our communities belong to all of us, and their future isn’t somebody else’s responsibility.

Issue 3 has people talking about what comes next. Hear the discussion SADA hosted and make up your own mind.

🌲 This is what regional collaboration looks like!

Southwest Arkansas’ timber resources have long been one of our greatest competitive advantages. This new ‘AA’ BDO Zone rating puts independent, third-party data behind what we already know and gives us another tool to market our region for new investment.

Proud of the communities and partners across Southwest Arkansas who helped make it happen. When we work regionally, we compete regionally.

You can see it before you see the town: a name painted high above the trees, telling you you're home.

A water tower is more than steel and paint. It's a promise from neighbors who built something to last, for their families and for every generation after.

In Southwest Arkansas, our towers stand tall, just like the communities beneath them.

🚨SADA hosted a Zoom conversation to help share clear answers about Issue 3.

🧑‍🧑‍🧒 Southwest Arkansas families need places to live, shop, and build a future close to home. Issue 3 could give communities another way to address local needs, including housing 🏠 and retail. With a lot being said, take a few minutes to hear what it would and would not do. Our communities deserve the opportunity to shape what comes next.
