Dear Planning Commission Nominating Committee,

I am writing to express my interest in the Citizen at Large Planning Commission position. The Planning
Commission is crucial to ensuring Fayetteville continues its growth while preserving what makes it special. My
professional background and personal experience as a renter add valuable competencies to the Commission.

What do U.S. trade agreement negotiations and the Planning Commission have in common? Both begin with
stakeholder engagement and result in promoting economic opportunities. During my time with the U.S.
Department of Commerce (DOC) and U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA), I actively worked in public-
private ecosystems to structure win-win strategic partnerships. I offer experience leveraging government, non-
profit, business, and constituent stakeholders to identify solutions. Throughout my academic and professional
training, I focused on building expertise in economic impact strategies. I contribute an understanding of local
government revenue mechanisms and experience at the state, federal, and international level understanding
what levers to pull for economic growth.

As a native Arkansan, I witnessed the growth of Northwest Arkansas (NWA), but it wasn’t until the opportunity
arose to work remotely that I chose to put down roots in Fayetteville (December 2021). I chose Fayetteville for
its cost of living, quality of life, affordable housing, walking trails, manageable traffic, accessible regional
airport, and continued economic growth. From the library to the trails, Fayetteville offered me the opportunity
to live well while remaining connected to the world through XNA.

Before moving to Fayetteville, I lived in several cities including Conway, AR; Little Rock, AR; Russellville,
AR; Tacoma, WA, Alexandria, VA; Arlington, VA; and Washington, DC. While working for the DOC and
SBA, I frequently traveled to cities throughout the United States, Europe, and Asia. These experiences provided
a comprehensive understanding of the benefits and challenges associated with economic expansion.

My neighborhood off Rupple Road is a positive example of housing development. My rental house is
comparable in price to apartments with the added benefit of being in a diverse community of young
professionals, retirees, single families, and college students. Formerly a cow pasture, the area now offers
proximity to multiple schools, grocery stores, and access to the walking/biking trail system. The trail system is a
huge benefit, providing a safe space comparable to biking trails I used in Geneva, Switzerland. The
infrastructure expansion of Weddington road immensely improved rush hour traffic.

In contrast, living in DC in the H Street Northeast Mixed-Use Housing NMU-5A/H-H Zone presented many
challenges. Prior to moving, my commute averaged 2 hours in heavy traffic, my car was damaged by street
parking, and I lived in a food desert. I chose the recently built H Street apartment complex for access to public
transportation, off-street parking, and proximity to Whole Foods. While an improvement, living on H Street
came with challenges. The apartment building shared the block with a single-family house and a rehabilitation
facility. My apartment window was directly across from the bedroom window on the single-family home,
offering no privacy. I regularly had to navigate a large homeless population as I exited my building and waited
for public transportation. Additionally, the building parking fees continued to increase, making it economically
infeasible to afford parking plus rent each month.

When I think back to why it felt exhausting to live in DC, the mixed-use housing zone building was not the
problem. A broader conversation was needed in DC regarding resource allocation, provision of government
services, and development. The disjointed approach to implementation encouraged my departure.

As Fayetteville continues to expand, the Planning Commission faces policy decisions regarding land use,
housing, infrastructure, and transportation. Policies that work for other cities need evaluation by local
stakeholders. Not every policy will work for Fayetteville and maintain what attracted me to the region in the
first place. My professional background facilitating stakeholder engagement, managing large-scale economic
negotiations, and experience living in multiple areas will add value to the Planning Commission.

Regards,



Ashlyn Holeyfield
