Roby Brock Talks Red Wolf Convention Center in Jonesboro

For A-State Connections, I'm Johnathan Reaves.  Since 2016, there has been discussion about a hotel and a convention center in Jonesboro.  At one point, two groups were competing to put the project in Jonesboro.  In March of 2016, I did an interview with Roby Brock of Talk Business and Politics and asked him about whether Jonesboro could really support two convention centers.  Well, we now know that the Red Wolf Convention Center is up and holding events.  I talked with Brock recently about his thoughts on the center and what it means for the region.  Click on the Listen button for the entire interview.
