Downtown Jonesboro is critical part of the city’s urban core. Downtowns are important because they give a sense of pride to the community, represent quality of life, and tell the story of the area. Successful downtowns can become a major employer, as well as a great incubator for small independent businesses. With activities concentrated in one area, downtowns also deter urban sprawl. Downtown Jonesboro is no exception, providing all these benefits to the community.
