Key Issues

It’s no secret: Northwest Arkansas is currently undergoing significant growth, and this trend is expected to continue in the future. As the past chair of and present member of the City Planning Commission, Mandel Samuels aims to prioritize the development of essential infrastructure to support this expansion and sustain vibrant communities. Here’s what Mandel stands for when it comes to decisions regarding the development of the City of Rogers.

 

Responsible & Planned Growth

In Rogers, responsible and planned growth is essential to maintaining the city's quality of life while accommodating increasing demand. By implementing strategic infrastructure improvements and thoughtful land use policies, we need to balance development with community well-being. This approach ensures that expansion supports economic vitality, provides accessible amenities, and preserves the area’s unique character for future generations.

Infrastructure to Support the Growth

Improved infrastructure is crucial for sustaining the population expansion in NWA and enhancing our quality of life. Essential infrastructure — such as well-planned roads and bridges and responsible maintenance — forms the backbone of a thriving city, ensuring smooth connectivity and accessibility. Investing in these key systems not only supports current needs but also prepares Rogers for future growth, making it possible to accommodate a growing population while maintaining a quality standard of living.

Connectivity for Access

Enhancing connectivity through well-designed roads, overpasses, and bridges is vital for improving access and convenience across the city. By linking different neighborhoods and key areas more effectively, residents can enjoy easier commutes, better access to amenities, and reduced traffic congestion. Investing in a comprehensive network of roads and bridges ensures that the city can accommodate its growing population smoothly, fostering a more interconnected and accessible community.
