In this episode, I had the opportunity to sit down with Amanda Hager, Director of Main Street Fort Smith. We talked about what it really takes to bring a downtown back to life, from restoring historic buildings to making space for new energy and community connection. Amanda breaks down misconceptions about Fort Smith’s downtown and shares why she’s more motivated than ever to make it a destination for locals, families, and visitors alike. I really enjoyed this one, and I think you’ll appreciate hearing her perspective on how culture, business, and relationships can transform a city block by block.
