Arkansas first gentleman Bryan Sanders hopes to double the state's outdoor recreation economy from its current $3.5 billion to $7 billion in the next 10 years. Sanders was tapped by his wife, Gov. Sarah Sanders, to chair the Natural State Advisory Council, whose purpose is to establish Arkansas as an outdoor recreation destination and grow the outdoor economy. He spoke Tuesday (May 9) before the Rotary Club of Little Rock along with Runway Group investment company co-founder Tom Walton of the Walton family, and Murphy USA CFO Mindy West.
