The city has become a magnet for healthcare innovation, with a $700 million investment from the Alice Wilton School of Medicine, Mercy Hospitals, and the Cleveland Clinic. “We’re seeing a surge in quality medical care and investment,” Orman states, adding that this expansion strengthens the city’s ability to meet the needs of its growing population. Bentonville’s aviation industry is another bright spot. The city’s airport, recognized by Forbes as the “coolest airport in America,” symbolizes Bentonville’s flair for innovation. “This weekend, we’re hosting the UP Summit, bringing together 200 to 300 elite aviation experts to explore emerging technologies like flying cars,” Orman shares enthusiastically. Such events elevate Bentonville’s profile as a hub for cutting-edge research and collaboration. Bentonville’s Key Partners in Trade and Their Contribution to Growth A critical element of Bentonville's impressive growth story is its network of key partners in the trades and supplier sectors. This collaborative approach has been integral to the city’s transformation into a thriving community that seamlessly blends innovation, infrastructure, and livability. Mayor Orman highlighted the importance of private investment in the city's development, noting, “We are fortunate here in the city of Bentonville that we do have private partners that also invest heavily in our roads and infrastructure.”
