JONESBORO, Ark. – Jonesboro Mayor Harold Perrin sat on a panel of speakers Wednesday at an “Idea Exchange” of the International Council of Shopping Centers.
Perrin represented northeast Arkansas at the convention and sold attendees on the many reasons to do business in Jonesboro.
“We are focused on building the infrastructure and quality of life that make it easier for you to convince clients that Jonesboro is a market they should be in,” Perrin said.
