Future Visions

Daniel E. O'Byrne

“For over 35 years, the Little Rock Convention & Visitors Bureau has been an integral part of the redevelopment of downtown Little Rock.  We are proud to be involved in the continued revitalization and enrichment of this area.  It is the center of a dynamic and expansive city, with a culture rich in arts, entertainment and educational opportunities.

As an organization dedicated to bringing meetings, conventions and events to the city, our role is to market the city of Little Rock to business and leisure travelers.  The progress within the downtown area, and within the entire city, including distinctive restaurants, endless shopping and luxurious hotels, continues to attract these visitors by the thousands. 

The opening of the William J. Clinton Presidential Center and Park forever changed the downtown area, as well as the whole city, transforming Little Rock into a national and international destination for travelers.  Subsequent events such as the opening of the Heifer International Headquarters and the 10th Anniversary of the River Market have continued to place our city in the spotlight, as will the upcoming 50th anniversary of the integration of CentralHigh School.

The Little Rock Convention & Visitors Bureau supports and applauds the redevelopment of the downtown area.  Now a place to live, work and play, downtown Little Rock has become a unique and eclectic part of our capital city.  We are excited to be in the midst of such a vibrant area and look forward to the future of Little Rock; America’s Newest Destination.”

A Forward-Thinking Approach

“The idea behind redevelopment is innovation, taking an existing property and turning it into something new, something energetic and revitalizing. To embrace redevelopment is to look forward, not back.

Whether serving as general contractors or in a construction management capacity, Cornerstone Resources proudly serves its clients with a forward-thinking approach to problem solving that delivers an innovative, quality commercial development product on time and on budget. Though new to our home in North Little Rock, Cornerstone Resources’ partners have a combined 50 years’ experience in providing commercial development solutions that we are ready to apply to any project, both here in Arkansas and across the South.

Likewise, Earth Retaining Solutions, managed by the same partners, has proven its commitment to innovation by offering a new retaining wall system applicable to commercial and residential projects that offers both refined aesthetic quality and cost-saving, practical functionality. Three years in development, the blocks at the heart of our retaining wall system are fully engineered both structurally and geo-technically and are the only blocks on the market to offer a self-draining system, eliminating the need for costly drainage tile.

We believe such efficiencies in technology and economy are crucial to creating successful, progressive solutions to our satisfied clients. We are proud to embrace a vision of future potential, one that offers innovative ideas to our customers and attractive, environmentally-conscious promises for the future.”
