• Super central: The Howard is a mixed-use, modern living building under construction in Bentonville on SE 2nd St backed up to the Razorback Greenway, slated to be complete this summer. The building is primed to offer the ultimate luxury apartment living in the center of Bentonville life. 
• On the trail: There have been thousands of multifamily units built within the last five years in NWA that are within one mile of a trailhead, giving residents instant access to more than 250 miles of trails. The Howard is in an unrivaled area with unparalleled access to the Greenway.

In April, NASA selected Canoo vehicles for the first lunar landing in 50 years. Now, Walmart has signed an agreement to purchase 4,500 all-electric delivery vehicles with the option to purchase up to 10,000 units. 

• Clean delivery: Walmart is starting its purchases with the Lifestyle Delivery Vehicle (LDV), which will be used to deliver online orders sustainably, contributing to Walmart's goal to achieve zero emissions by 2040. 
• In the works: Headquartered in Bentonville, Canoo has engineered the LDV for high-frequency stop-and-go deliveries and speedy vehicle-to-door drop-off, including grocery and food/meal delivery. The LDV is expected to hit the streets in 2023, but Canoo and Walmart have plans to kick off advanced deliveries to refine and finalize vehicle configuration.
