Meeting the Needs of a Growing Population
Northwest Arkansas has experienced tremendous growth and acclaim in recent years. It was ranked the 10th best place to live by U.S. News and World Report for 2023-2024. The metropolitan area which includes Benton, Madison, and Washington Counties, is rapidly growing in population, with a projected population of one million by 2045!
The Walmart home office project in Bentonville is one example of this growth. The campus expansion will drive innovation and increase opportunities for the community. It will also bring more people to the area, resulting in increased usage of Highway 102, which has already experienced a 220 percent increase in daily traffic since 1990.
Community feedback will be essential to design the best solution for the increase in people moving through the area.
Interactive Map
The study area is a 1.1-mile section of Highway 102 (14th Street), providing the main east-west connection from Interstate 49 in the east, and the residential areas to the west. The expanded Walmart Corporate campus is located south of Central Avenue, north of Highway 102 and east of J Street.
