Gov.-elect Asa Hutchinson has appointed Mike Carroll to the Arkansas Economic Development Commission.
Carroll is a certified public accountant and a senior partner at Beall Barclay & Co., and Beall Barclay Wealth Management.
“The potential for economic growth and job creation [in Fort Smith] and across Arkansas is incredible, and it is imperative that we put good people in place to help facilitate that growth,” Hutchinson said in a statement. “This is why I am pleased to announce the appointment of Mike Carroll … I have no doubt [Carroll’s] success and experience in the private sector will greatly benefit the AEDC, and, what’s more, his perspective and knowledge of the Fort Smith area will help in achieving our economic goals.”
