Our Mission is to strengthen and enhance the Downtown Bentonville Experience for those who live, work, play and invest in downtown.

Our Vision is to be the driving force behind the most attractive, innovative, friendly and authentic downtown in the world.

We believe that downtown is the heart of our community and nurturing its sustainable growth is critical to the long term health of the city.
