Conway is named one of the Fastest Growing Cities in Arkansas

The Gadberry Group recently released a report naming the fastest growing cities in Arkansas for 2009.  Maumelle, Bryant and Conway respectively were the top three cities in the state.

In the past decade, Conway has seen exponential growth topping 30% and has also earned the desingation as one of the most educated cities in the state with over 36% of residents earning a Bachelor's degree or higher according to City-Data.com.

The Arkansas Democrat Gazette quoted Larry Martin, a principal with the Gadberry Group, "For years, Conway was known as a bedroom community to Little Rock but that no longer is the case. Conway landed one of the largest economic development projects in the state in 2008, Hewlett-Packard's $28 million customerservice and technology center, which will employ 1,200 by 2012."

The Log Cabin sat down with Mayor Tab Townsell after the report was released.  The Mayor said “We’re trying to grow into the city we wish to become and not just grow out of the city we were in love with. In other words to build smart, to build fine parks, build better roads and bike trails and continue to grow in our police and fire safety forces. They keep our city safe, and that is what is going to dictate whether or not we are a good place to live as we grow.  Now Conway is an independent area. "People now are going from Little Rock to Conway to work.”

Brad Lacy, President and CEO of the Conway Area Chamber of Commerce also weigned in on Conway's standing with The Log Cabin.  “Conway has felt like an island in the storm.  We have been so fortunate to maintain growth in this climate. I think it’s due to our diverse and fundamentally sound local economy.”

Casino Night Time!

For the past seventeen years, Century 21 Dunaway & Hart, Inc. has chosen to give back to the community which it serves. It all started when Pete Hart and a group of dedicated Real Estate agents decided to make a difference. They started the first of many Casino Nights and donated all the proceeds to Easter Seals Arkansas. This amazing group of driven individuals paved the way for us to continue there work and here we are almost two decades later doing just that.

So many times, we get so wrapped up in our daily routines that it is difficult to stop and reflect on helping others. Casino Night is our chance to do just that. I especially love that Casino Night is nestled between Christmas and Valentine's Day: two holidays that create the perfect opportunities to give to our families and friends. Casino Night lets us give to people who we may not know but who are so incredibly deserving.

Easter Seals Arkansas is an exceptional organization whose mission is to provide services to ensure that all people with disabilities or special needs have equal opportunities to live, learn, work, and play in their communities. The success of their mission can be seen through the children’s’ faces in the collage I have created below.

The 18th annual Pete Hart Memorial Casino Night will be held Friday February 12th at The Knights of Columbus Hall located across from the Conway Airport. General admission tickets are $15 dollars in advance and $20 at the door. Advance tickets can be purchased from a Century 21 Dunaway & Hart agent or at our office located at 575 Harkrider Street, Conway, AR. You may call our office at 501-327-2121 or 800-490-0021 for more information.

Also, call our office, if you are interested in donating an in kind item to this worthwhile cause.  We have everything donated so all monies raised can go directly to help children and adults with disabilities.
