Project
The Northwest Arkansas Regional Planning Commission (NWARPC) and FUSE are partnering on a two-year fellowship to strengthen the Commission’s internal systems and regional communication as Northwest Arkansas heads toward one million residents by 2050. FUSE Executive Fellow Janae Cox will modernize project and financial tracking, clarify strategic direction, and build a coordinated communication framework. These efforts will support regional alignment and long-term infrastructure investment. The fellowship builds on NWARPC’s existing leadership to advance efficient, transparent, and accountable regional governance.
