The explosive growth of Northwest Arkansas over the past decade has brought unique challenges to the area, and the NWA Council is strategizing ways to help the region tackle what some have called its “crisis of success.” 

• Explosive growth: Northwest Arkansas has been ranked No. 4 in the nation for population growth, No. 3 in the nation for job growth, and No. 2 in the nation for pay growth.
• The playbook: The Council's five-year strategy outlines goals and objectives to bolster innovation and entrepreneurship, increase access to healthcare, maintain housing affordability, and remain diligent in its efforts to create a welcoming and inclusive community that develops, attracts, and retains diverse talent.
