In the last 25 years Springdale has changed a lot. The population has ballooned from just under 37,000 residents to an estimated 80,000+ when the new census is taken. It has seen the West side of town explode with new residential and commercial growth and the East side reach farther than some could have imagined. Downtown has been through hard times, but as of late has seen a renewed interest and investment to bring the old storefronts and iconic buildings back to life one by one.

In 2 decades plus one thing that hasn't changed in times of feast and famine and that is the President of the Springdale Chamber of Commerce. That will soon change as we have learned, after celebrating his 25th anniversary just a month and a half ago, Perry Webb has announced he is resigning his post as President and CEO of the Springdale Chamber of Commerce. He will remain with the chamber in the interim as a search begins for his replacement and a timetable is still developing. Webb came to the Springdale Chamber after serving at the Walnut Ridge and Forrest City Chambers of Commerce. He has not made public any plans for what he intends to do with life after the Chamber, but as a father of 3 and grandfather I am sure he will have plenty to keep him busy. We will keep you updated as the news unfolds.
