Hope Downtown Network Unveils First Phase of Community-Wide Project

The Hope Downtown Network, a program under Main Street Arkansas since 2018, unveiled the first phase of a community-wide project voted upon during their Taste of Hope event.

Barb Noble, Hope Downtown Network Board President, stated, “We are excited to show the community the first phase of the Pocket Park Fund-a-Project. During our 2023 inaugural event called Taste of Hope, our community selected their project choice among three outstanding options. They (the participants) overwhelmingly voted for the project. Without community support and partnership, this project would not have been possible. There are three phases to the project so stay tuned to what is to come.”

Hope Downtown Network is excited to announce the date and theme for their 2nd Annual Taste of Hope event. The community is invited to come together in Historic Downtown Hope on Saturday, October 5 from 5:00 PM – 8:00 PM. This year’s theme is Diners, Drive-ins and Dives! Throughout the evening, attendees will be able to take a stroll through the 50’s and 60’s and remember the amazing eateries that blessed our town for years and years. Additional information will be released at a later date.

Hope Downtown Network’s mission is based upon the Main Street 4-Point Approach. The four points strengthen downtown business revitalization and historic preservation and focus on design, organization, promotions, and economic vitality.
