About Us

Welcome to Go Forward Pine Bluff (GFPB), the driving force behind our community's transformation. GFPB emerged from the dedicated efforts of a diverse coalition of 100 volunteers who came together in 2016, transcending age, race, gender, and economic backgrounds.

Their collective vision formulates a strategic plan aimed at bolstering the fiscal foundation of our city through four key pillars: Economic Development, Education, Government and Infrastructure, and Quality of Life. The GFPB Plan materialized with the overwhelming support of our community, as 70% of voters rallied behind a 7-year 5/8th cent sales tax initiative. In addition, GFPB has raised more than $30 million in business investments, private donations, and grants to compliment the sales tax fund . This endeavor embodies a harmonious public-private partnership with the City of Pine Bluff, ensuring responsible allocation of funds to realize the 27 ambitious initiatives outlined in our plan.

At GFPB, we are dedicated to enhancing the city's revenue streams, fostering population retention, attracting new residents, and positioning Pine Bluff as a vibrant hub for tourism and commerce. Our unwavering objective is to cultivate the necessary collaborations to propel Pine Bluff forward into a prosperous future.
