Just back from a few inspiring days in Northwest Arkansas for the Small Scale Developer Forum (SSDF)!
We explored some incredible small-scale development projects and joined panel discussions on food & beverage, housing, and mixed-use design — all centered around creating walkable, connected, and resilient communities. A highlight was connecting with developers and designers from across the country who share a passion for thoughtful growth and placemaking.
Special thanks to Jim Heid and the entire team for putting together such a fun, insightful, and energizing experience.
At CREO, we believe that good design matters — and the success of the Northwest Arkansas region is proof that small-scale, community-driven development can make a big impact.
