Steuart Walton and Tom Walton grew up in Bentonville. They believe that active, better-connected communities build a more vibrant, joyful place to live and work. Runway’s investments in outdoor recreation, real estate, art, and hospitality all play a role in creating a more dynamic community, making Bentonville the best version of itself for everyone.
As Downtown Bentonville Inc. celebrates its 20th anniversary, some local business leaders talk about Bentonville’s rapid growth.
The Walton brothers called the downtown environment in local cities “the beating heart of Northwest Arkansas.”
“Given the way that we are developing, and the progress we are making, I see the growth as a positive thing. I fully acknowledge that there are challenges, but I think our region is prepared to handle those in a responsible way.” ~Steuart Walton
