01 Jun 2025 Vilonia leaders working together to build a flourishing community
A message from Jackie Fowlkes, President of the Vilonia Chamber
Incorporated in 1938, Vilonia City spans 7.98 square miles, with a growing population of 4,288. As a part of Central Arkansas, Vilonia is considered a bedroom community of Conway, Jacksonville Air Force Base, and the larger metropolis of Little Rock/North Little Rock.
Located in Faulkner County, Vilonia has many opportunities for all ages and boasts a premier 5A Central School — the Vilonia School District. The district spans 115 square miles and has a K-12 enrollment of 2,745. The Eagle Pride in Vilonia runs deep with academic, sports and community events.
As the numbers grow for those who will call Vilonia home, so do the economic opportunities. Located between Interstate 40 and U.S. Hwy 67, Vilonia is perfectly positioned between two major travel corridors.
If you are looking to be part of downtown development, industrial development, or even bringing manufacturing to the four-lane bypass, Vilonia offers real estate, utility capacity, and workforce for your company to thrive.
We at the Vilonia Area Chamber of Commerce strive to see our community thrive and are here to welcome and support you!
A message from Vilonia Mayor Preston Scroggin
New businesses are opening their doors, bringing job opportunities, more diverse services, and enhanced economic stability. Additionally, several major industries in the surrounding area, including manufacturing and distribution, contribute to the vibrancy of Vilonia and provide residents with solid employment opportunities.
Public services have been expanded, ensuring residents have access to excellent schools, well-maintained roads, and reliable utilities.
Our schools are a particular highlight, with both Vilonia High School and elementary schools being known for their dedicated staff, strong academic programs, and commitment to extracurricular
activities.
Vilonia’s location also adds to its appeal. Situated just a short drive from Little Rock, residents can enjoy the tranquility of rural living while still having easy access to all the cultural, professional, and recreational opportunities the state has to offer.
Whether it’s a day trip to the city or a weekend getaway to explore the natural beauty of Arkansas, Vilonia serves as the perfect base.
Most important, though, are the people of Vilonia. Our community has maintained its warm, neighborly spirit. There’s a sense of pride in Vilonia’s history and traditions, and the town regularly comes together for local events and celebrations. It’s a place where people truly care about each other.
From a thriving economy and top-notch education to a strong sense of community and proximity to larger cities, I am confident that anyone who chooses to make Vilonia their home will find a place that’s not only growing but thriving in the most wonderful ways.
