A Monumental Day for Northwest Arkansas

Today, Garrett X was proud to participate in the ribbon cutting for the new Highway 642 / XNA Connector—a transformational project that provides a direct connection between the interstate and Northwest Arkansas National Airport.

We were honored to partner with Crossland Construction and ARDOT to deliver this important project nine months ahead of schedule.

Commissioner Tudor recognized the partnership and teamwork between Crossland, Garrett X, ARDOT, and everyone involved in making this project a success. Finishing a project of this magnitude ahead of schedule is a testament to what can happen when great teams work together with a common goal.

This project is bigger than a new highway. It improves access to XNA, supports the continued growth of Northwest Arkansas, and provides infrastructure that will serve our community for generations.

We are incredibly proud of the Garrett X team and grateful to Crossland and ARDOT for the opportunity to be part of such an important project.

Great partnerships. Great people. Building Northwest Arkansas together.

You never know what moment will stick.

Giving students the opportunity to see, touch, and experience what we do firsthand is how interest turns into passion, and passion turns into careers.

Grateful for the opportunity to spend time with the students at Leverett Elementary and be a small part of sparking that curiosity.

Best on Earth is built from the ground up.
