On this week's episode of the podcast, Rex is joined by Chris Moses, President and CEO of Moses Tucker Partners, and the company's Vice President of Development, George Friedmann, to discuss the importance of new real estate developments and opportunities in and around the Little Rock metro, with a particular focus on the city's downtown area. 

The conversation begins with a lengthy chat about Moses Tucker's involvement in the recent renovation of Little Rock's historic Boyle Building, the new headquarters for state Attorney General Tim Griffin. Rex, Chris and George spend much of this part of the discussion on the significance of the location, which "opened in 1909 as the State Bank Building and served as Little Rock's second skyscraper, standing at at 12-stories in height. Chris and George discuss challenges associated with the recent renovation of the Boyle Building, including environmental issues as well as their attempt to maintain the structural integrity of the facility in the process. 

This leads to a broader discussion on how the Boyle Building has and can continue to serve as part of the metro's downtown epicenter and its relationship to Little Rock's Downtown Master Plan, which includes revitalizing many buildings, neighborhoods and public spaces in the heart of the city. Chris and George emphasize the need for more business development in and around the State Capitol as well as the importance of public-private partnerships for purposes of funding new real estate projects. 

Other topics touched on in this episode include fundraising for building renovations and expansions, as well as the need for additional rehabilitation of attractions in the arts and culture sector, such as those recently implemented by the Arkansas Museum of Fine Arts and the future expansion of the Clinton Presidential Center.
