Community Meeting Focuses on Economic Development in Howard County

KMTB and KNAS had the opportunity yesterday to speak with Vanessa Weeks, the Director of Economic Development for Howard County, about the recent community meeting held earlier this week.

Weeks explained that the meeting was organized in collaboration with the Arkansas Economic Development Institute, focusing on the primary goals of community engagement and economic growth.

During the meeting, participants also reviewed the results of a recent community survey, which sparked considerable discussion among attendees.

Weeks described the gathering as productive, noting that many community members actively engaged with the survey findings and shared their insights.

Looking ahead, Weeks outlined the next steps the county plans to take in response to the feedback received.

Next week, KMTB and KNAS will delve deeper into specific categories from the survey, continuing the conversation on economic development in Howard County.
