Premier Gastroenterology Associates held a groundbreaking ceremony for its new Premier Medical Plaza on Wednesday, April 3.
During the groundbreaking, Premier Gastroenterology CEO Bill Greene spoke as well as Little Rock Mayor Frank Scott Jr, Little Rock City Director Capi Peck, and Premier Gastroenterology Board President Dr. Terence Angtuaco.
“The rebranding of this area has been going on for quite some time, West Village, and this is going to be the crown jewel,” says Peck.
“40% of Arkansas’ growth domestic product, GDP, is healthcare,” says Mayor Frank Scott Jr. “This is another shining example of our commitment to healthcare economics as we continue to highlight this great organization that is growing in our city.”
This $35 million project will be built in a vacant lot formerly occupied by a Kmart building on Rodney Parham Road in Little Rock. This project is being made possible by the work of Clark Contractors, Arvest Bank, Newmark Moses Trucker Partners, and WER Architects.
“At the end of the day if we truly are going to have a sustainable city we are going to have to have a healthy city,” says Scott.
