Growing Urban Farmers
Growing Urban Farmers is a USDA-NRCS grant-funded program at SJCA, which is aimed at increasing local food production in our area by assisting those interested in becoming urban farmers or starting an urban agriculture business.
Relaunch The Hub
The Arkansas Regional Innovation Hub has been a cornerstone of creativity, learning, and entrepreneurship in central Arkansas since 2014, serving over 130,000 makers, students, artists, and entrepreneurs. Built through charitable contributions, federal grants, and community investment, "the Hub" has provided hands-on STEM education, workforce development, and maker resources to people of all ages and backgrounds. We are leading efforts to ensure the Hub continues its vital mission as a collaborative maker space and innovation center for North Little Rock and the broader region.
