Thanks to a visionary private foundation, Northwest Arkansas will soon become known for its regional greenway system. $15 million in TIGER II program funding has been awarded to the Northwest Arkansas Razorback Regional Greenway project, with additional matching funds anticipated to come from the private foundation and other private funding sources. The 36-mile greenway will link the six major municipalities of northwest Arkansas, the University of Arkansas, hospitals, commercial centers, and the headquarters of major employers. The new greenway will increase connectivity, drive economic development, improve residents’ health, and help make northwest Arkansas a more attractive place to live, work, and play.
