Future Visions

Bruce Moore

“Though the City of Little Rock is firmly committed to all neighborhoods of the City, we are proud to have been a partner in the revitalization of downtown.   As the site of Little Rock’s founding, it holds a historical significance.  As the home to Little RockCity Hall, it is where a portion of the City’s employees work.

In addition to City Hall, downtown is home to two Fire Stations, four Police facilities, the City’s oldest park (MacArthurPark), the City’s newest park (Clinton Presidential Park), RiverfrontPark, and the River Market.  In the 2004 Capital Bond Program, the City committed a substantial portion of the funds to infrastructure improvements in downtown.

The importance of downtown is not just historical or geographical.  One hallmark of a progressive City is a thriving downtown.  As businesses are looking for locations, the quality of the Downtown is a key component.  For Little Rock to grow and thrive in all neighborhoods, the City must present a vital, active downtown.

Just as it has been since Little Rock’s beginning, the corporate and governmental mix will continue in downtown.  The residential and retail components are on the increase.  As this development continues, it is pleasing to see the combination of new construction and preservation of historic buildings.

The success of downtown has been a result of collaboration between the public, private, and not-for-profit sectors.  As we look to the future, the City is proud to partner in downtown.”

A great city

 “Moses Tucker Real Estate is committed to the redevelopment of downtown Little Rock for one simple reason – building a strong, urban core is the success to a vibrant city. 

More than two decades ago, I was blessed to be part of a vision to develop an arts and entertainment area in the downtown warehouse district of Little Rock. Through the collective efforts of many, many people, we have been fortunate to see that vision become a reality as the River Market District has become the vibrant epicenter of our capitol city, celebrating its 10th anniversary this year.

Among its many great qualities, one thing I am constantly impressed with is the blending of historic and modern elements within the River Market District – the juxtaposition of old and new in one space and place. This quality is best seen by the neighboring architecture, where older, historic buildings stand proudly next to new, contemporary construction and something that lends itself to the variety that is downtown Little Rock. Its resources are valuable and are worth preserving and enhancing for future generations.

Arkansans are hungry for a more unique living and working environment that encourages diversity of all types and the conveniences of an 18-hour city.  In 10 years, I think you’ll see more than 1,000 new residential units in downtown Little Rock, a significant number of specialty retail shops, major upscale grocery and department stores and numerous new, start-up companies located in the area that will be able to provide all of that.

I believe downtown Little Rock is destined to be referred to as one of the great medium-size urban cities in the United States; a town that celebrates diversity with an exciting metropolitan lifestyle, and includes a waterway full of interesting outdoor activities that keep residents close to nature.

I consider myself fortunate to have played an instrumental role in birth of the River Market, and I am equally proud to be involved with its coming growth. I look forward to seeing what the future holds for our great city.”
