Mayor Terry Hartwick and the North Little Rock City Council unveiled the North Little Rock Conference Center this week in a special ceremony. The 31,000-square-foot conference center will be constructed at 120 Main Street, the site of the former North Little Rock City Services Building. The new center, expected to be completed in early 2026, will feature a ballroom, a pre-function area, and a prep-kitchen. The center will accommodate up to 1,000 for dinner and 1,500 for an event or show.

“For years, I have turned people away to other cities that wanted a venue of this size. We are excited to welcome vendors, exhibits, and various types of shows to our city,” said Mayor Hartwick.
